Water for Argentina

Strengthening water access in two schools

In the provinces of Chaco and Salta, Escuela Primaria Nº 226 and Escuela Secundaria Nº 3170 face challenges with safe water availability and hygiene. Previous interventions have improved conditions, but repairs and upgrades are now essential to ensure reliable water for students, teachers, and staff. Without these improvements, daily hygiene and learning environments remain at risk.

Xylem Watermark and Fundación Aguas are working together to enhance school water systems and train staff in safe water practices, ensuring sustainability and long-term community impact.

Xylem solution
