VILLAGE OF EL PERICON, SAN MARTIN JILOTEPEQUE - GUATEMALA

Summary Project Description:
This is the seventh clean water project located in the northern highlands of Guatemala working in cooperation with Behrhorst Partners for Development (www.behrhorst.org). The village has a population of 450 inhabitants (75 families). Currently the community suffers from a lack of water in their homes. The women and children must walk 45 minutes each way to gather water from small springs; in the dry season they must go further to distant springs. The funding will provide running water and a 3-compartment sink, construction of gray water filters, improved vented pit latrines and raised vented stoves for each family.
