Project Description

Country: Guatemala

Location: Chiquimula

Total Budget: $13,700

Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Water and sanitation

Activity Type: Water: Sanitation

Summary: Sanitation, medical equipment, clean cook stoves for group of schools


Part 1 - Clean Cook stoves

It is common practice to cook over an open fire or with an improperly vented stove. Using this cooking method increases indoor air pollution which causes a variety of health issues and early mortality. In addition, these cooking methods use over twice the amount of firewood leading to deforestation, high carbon emissions and high fuel costs. This project will add clean cook stoves for 4 schools.

Part 2 - Sanitation

The kinder school in La Catocha has no working bathroom or sink. They currently use a hillside behind the school as their bathroom. This project will install a bathroom and sink for Escuela Rural de Pre- Primaria La Catocha.

Part 3 - Repairs -

The school at El Jurgallón has water leaking in from the back wall causing mold issues in the classrooms. This project will address the wall issue, and update the kitchen in school with clean cook stove and other materials.

Part 4 - Medical Equipment

The local University (CUNORI) runs a low cost medical clinic for the surrounding community. The clinic has very little medical equipment. This project will purchase some of the much needed equipment that the clinic has requested.

Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Fort Collins have visited the project site. We have future follow up trips planned. In addition the local Rotary Club of Chiquimula is actively involved in all aspects of the project. Items in this project were part of a previous Global Grant request. The foundation suggested we address through District Grant instead.
