Sharing the strongest of bonds with partner communities.

Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds in nature. The second strongest are the ones we share with our communities.

Who We Are

Sharing the strongest of bonds with partner communities.

Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds in nature. The second strongest are the ones we share with our partner communities.

We are a nonprofit social enterprise bridging the gap between available and safe water in rural communities. We provide ongoing, data-informed support to ensure continued access.

Much like hydrogen and oxygen need one another to form a covalent bond to create water, Cova relies on successful partnerships to provide comprehensive safe drinking water solutions to rural communities in Central America. We partner with communities to provide education opportunities and build capacity for self-sustaining, easy to maintain, and financially viable water treatment solutions that lead to healthy lives, while allowing communities to be active participants in the process. 

Cova (formerly EOS International) has been providing safe drinking water solutions and community capacity building in Central America since 2008.

With staff in Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, Cova is a locally managed organization dedicated to the successful implementation of safe water solutions through tracking, evaluating, and revisiting community water treatment installations to ensure sustained impact. Our strong partnerships with local communities, nonprofits, and governmental organizations help us expand our reach and increase our effectiveness in our mission to build stronger, healthier communities.

Mission

Building a healthier Central America through community-centered safe water solutions.

Vision

A world where all communities have access to safe water.

Bold strategies and ambitious goals to end the water crisis.

By 2026, we aim to dramatically increase Cova’s reach and impact, bringing safe drinking water to three million people living in rural communities in Central America.
