STARTS WITH CLEAN WATER
AND GROWS THROUGH CONNECTION AND COLLABORATION
IMPACTS OF THE WATER CRISIS
Waterborne Diseases: The lack of clean water sources exposes communities to waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrheal illnesses. These diseases can have severe consequences on health, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.
Inadequate Sanitation: Poor sanitation facilities and improper waste disposal contribute to water contamination, further exacerbating the water crisis. The absence of proper sanitation facilities impacts public health and poses environmental concerns.
Rural Disparities: Rural areas often bear the brunt of the water crisis, with limited infrastructure and access to clean water sources. As a result, communities in these regions face daily struggles to secure safe drinking water.
Climate Change Impact: Many Communities are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which can lead to more frequent and severe water-related challenges like flooding, droughts, and saltwater intrusion. These factors intensify the existing water crisis.
Social and Economic Implications: The lack of access to clean water affects education, livelihoods, and overall socio-economic development. Women and children, primarily responsible for water collection, often have limited opportunities for education and economic empowerment.
COUNTRY PROJECTS
OUR CURRENT COMMUNITIES
SAN JUAN COMAPALA, Guatemala
We’re working with Long Way Home and the Hero School to bring clean water, solar lights, and hygiene access to Mayan families in Comalapa. Our student WATA Ambassadors lead the charge, setting up filters, checking in on families, and collecting impact data. Together, we’ve served over 150 families and are continuing to grow community-led access from the inside out.
