Quezalguaque
Brookline's sister city is Quezalguaque, Nicaragua, located in the Northwest Region of the country. Although the two might be sister cities, there could not be a greater difference in the water supply. Brookline citizens have one of the cleanest sources of drinking water, whereas Quezalguaque citizens struggle to receive basic access to a safe and reliable water source. There is great and understandable fear about the water, as the residents struggle with chronic kidney disease, a possible cause of their contaminated water.
