Project Description Region: Central America Country: Guatemala Location: Las Lomas Total Budget: $42,000 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene Every 6 seconds, someone dies of disease related to lack of water or sanitation. Clean water, good hygiene and proper sanitation all work together to prevent disease, so we have been targeting all three areas in this region for several years. This projects specifically works to improve sanitation by building 100 latrines for families in Las Lomas, where the poor handling of the solid human waste is causing human illnesses and environmental degradation. We have a strong Rotary International Partner Club for this project, who has implemented numerous projects with us. We also have strong partner in the Municipality of San Jacinto, which we have worked with previously, and has committed to providing labor and project management. We visited the Chiquimula region in June and have follow-up trip planned for the 1st quarter of 2015. We currently have 2 Global Grants for 2013/2014 in progress in the region.
