Plan #Guatemala uses heavy rainfall to provide safe water for communities. #water #sanitation

“Before Plan’s project we went with my brothers and my mom to get water. We all walk a long distance to bring the water at about five in the morning. I carried two jars with water on a trail with ups and downs, that trail is filled with sharp stones. Now that we have a water tank we don’t need to carry water no more... sometimes we go, but perhaps just one time. The project is very good because now we have enough drinkable water. The water of our barrel is used to wash clothes, is not drinkable. But that of the water collector we can drink, it’s clean and safe. So now I have time to play with my brothers and cousins. Now I'm studying and I have plenty of time to do my homework. With the tank we don’t need to go to the spring, which is almost always dry.”
