“WEFTA is here to help from their hearts.” – Panamanian community member, February 2025
The post-construction follow-up program of Water Engineers for the Americas and Africa (WEFTA) is a critical component in ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of community water systems. Through ongoing engagement with local water committees and community members, WEFTA provides essential technical support, guidance, and resources that empower communities to manage, maintain, and expand their water infrastructure.
In February, WEFTA volunteers, Greg Branch, Tim Wellman, and Tess De Los Rios, journeyed through multiple regions of Panama where WEFTA works. The team visited over 12 communities to check in on past, ongoing, and proposed water projects, and celebrated some recently completed projects.
