Project Description

Region: Central America

Country: Guatemala

Location: Dept. of Totonicapán

Total Budget: $140,000

Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene


The community has had a deep water well for 13 years that has never been connected. Population growth and declining spring production means that residents now get piped water to their homes only a few hours per week. The local municipality is installing a new flow line to connect this well to an existing but unused uphill concrete distribution tank. This project will rebuild the old, leaky, existing distribution system, add a chlorination system, provide operation and maintenance training for community members, and provide WASH training for a group of leaders who would then have the ability to train others in the community on an ongoing basis.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
