COVA AGUA

Cova Agua (formerly EOS International) brings clean drinking water to more than 600,000 people living in more than one thousand small communities in Honduras and Nicaragua. Cova’s water purification technology is a low-cost, low-maintenance solution that attaches to a community’s water tank and releases a controlled dosage of chlorine that costs only pennies per week for each household. Cova communities have better health and lower rates of infant mortality.  Half of Cova’s budget is earned through the sale of chlorine tablets.  Beneficial Returns provided two loans to purchase motorcycles for the Circuit Riders that regularly monitor and support remote communities, and to import chlorine in greater volumes which increased the profitability of their operations.
