Drinking Water System Guate­mala

The “Water for Health and Hygiene” project focuses on incre­a­sing access to clean drinking water and impro­ving hygiene condi­tions in the commu­nity of Chiquim Guaxcux in Guate­mala. To this end, a drinking water supply system with gravity pipes was developed speci­fi­cally for low-income families in the region in colla­bo­ra­tion with our project partner Tamahú Guate­mala. In addition, local educa­tion programs were organized to create a deep under­stan­ding and aware­ness of the importance of water and hygiene. The entire project has already led to a reduc­tion in water-related diseases and is thus making a signi­fi­cant contri­bu­tion to impro­ving the commu­ni­ty’s quality of life.

Further background infor­ma­tion on the project can be found in the project descrip­si­tion. Original language of the document is Spanish. It was trans­lated into English with a program. Or in the video of our partner organi­sa­tion, also in Spanish.
