Many communities in the mountainous area around Santiago Atitlán have poor or inconsistent access to running water. Patzilin Ab’aj and Panimaquip are two of these communities, where residents often don’t have running water at home or at school. When their school’s water supply runs out, kids have to carry heavy containers of water to school with them, depleting a supply that in some cases they have already had to carry from Lake Atitlán uphill to their homes.
Our Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team has been hard at work with these two communities to provide schools with alternative water supplies and relieve schoolchildren of this heavy burden. The solution? Rainwater, says Pablo Eulogio, Pueblo a Pueblo’s WASH project manager. Rainwater collection systems are known to many communities in this area as a way to take advantage of periods of heavy rain; stored water can be put to use during drier, hotter parts of the year when the need for water is even more dire. Given local average rainfall statistics, these systems can collect up to 240 liters of water per day! This water can be used in the school kitchen, for cleaning purposes, and in school bathrooms for washing hands and flushing toilets.
