Project Description Region: Central America Country: Guatemala Location: Santa Lucia Utatlan Total Budget: $50,000 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene The Rotary Club of Lake Atitlan (host) and the Rotary Club of Annapolis, MD donor) have begun GlobalGrant GG2570516 to help Vita Hermosa rehabilitate their potable water system. Over 30 homes have not received piped water for over a decade. The Global Grant will provide sustainable, potable water to every home in the village and the regional school sectors. The increased water will produce the same amount of wastewater. Already, wastewater and runoff are forming a small contaminated stream that enters where most of the community currently collects their water. This video (https://studio.youtube.com/video/J2u2mmcZ3gU/) shows the current stream of wastewater and runoff that flows directly to the clearing where the community will dig their well for their new water system. This Global Grant will ensure that every home has a functioning, sustainable "VIP" latrine or is linked to a mini-wastewater treatment (MWWTP). Agua del Pueblo (AdP) designed MWWTPs to connect all the grey and black wastewater from up to ten families.
