Las Mesas Water and Roofing Project
Daemian Foster is a civil and environmental engineer that served in El Salvador in 2007. Daemian and his family's service helped to provide new roofs for family homes and a Las Mesas church through loan programs, as well as a rainwater catchment system that has two water tanks, one of which was recently completed. By working with community members and project partner FUNDAHMER, they have already raised enough money to complete one of the water tanks that helps to provide water for the whole community and adeqate housing for the neediest families.
