Clean water is key to development. While 90% of Guatemalans living in rural dispersed communities have access to basic and safely managed water service, water quality is a problem, blocking economic and personal development. Water For People constructs piped water supply systems and works with district governments to train communities to maintain those systems for the long term. These trainings focus on topics like calculating and collecting payment for water, testing water quality, and monitoring service levels. In Guatemala, we also partner with the One Drop Foundation to implement social art programming, which uses art and theater to promote safe water, sanitation, and hygiene practices. Promoting a market-based approach to sanitation improvements through support of local microfinance institutions, promoting self-construction of bathrooms, and ensuring sanitation products and services are locally available is vital to the work we do. We treat schools in Guatemala as part of the wider community, so each school project is combined with education in the community to ensure that good hygiene practices learned in schools are reinforced at home. Guatemala was the first country to implement Hygiene Corners in classrooms, which are specific areas dedicated to students’ personal hygiene like handwashing and toothbrushing. Support for this project builds water systems and provides communities with health and hygiene education and to strengthen local government and communities to maintain, finance, and monitor these systems without external aid.
