Guatemala, the Land of Eternal Spring, is a country of stunning natural beauty. The Guatemalan people are primarily of Spanish or Mayan origin with many of mixed ethnicity. There are large cities like the capital, Guatemala City, with about 3 million people and many small villages with only 100 of 200 people. Nearly half of the people of Guatemala live int he rural areas like those that we serve.

The Guatemalan people are generous and kind. While their country has significant rates of poverty, Bualemalans ar industrious, hard-working, family-oriented people.

The water need in Guatemala are significant. Many Guatemalans have no choice but to drink contaminated water from rivers or hand-dug wells, and the health of their families suffers. Other Guatemalans spend as much as 20% of thei income on potable water. Often a family has to choose between school for their children or purchasing clean water
