THE PROBLEM
In San Juan Comalapa, many families rely on untreated water sources or must boil water daily to make it safe to drink. This process requires time, fuel, and consistency, resources that are not always available.
Even when water is accessible, contamination remains a risk, especially for children. Without reliable household-level solutions, families are left managing water safety on their own.
While schools like the Hero School, built by Long Way Home, provide strong community infrastructure and education, there is still a need for practical, long-term solutions that extend into the home.
W.A.T.A. works alongside local partners to provide filtration systems, training, and follow-ups, while empowering students and community members to take ownership of the work.

TRIP RECAP
This trip marked the completion of Phase 1 of W.A.T.A.’s Guatemala program. In partnership with Long Way Home, we distributed 225 water filtration systems to families in San Juan Comalapa, ensuring every school family had access to clean drinking water. We also established our first Ambassador Program in Guatemala, training members of the graduating senior class to support installations, surveys, follow-ups, education, and long-term community stewardship.

Ande Peren x WATA
Art Inspired by Guatemala. Created for Clean Water.
When we met Guatemalan tattoo artist Ande Peren, we immediately connected over a shared appreciation for community, storytelling, and the people who make Guatemala so special.
Together we created Agua Viva, a limited collection inspired by the families, wildlife, traditions, and everyday moments we’ve experienced while working throughout San Juan Comalapa. Every illustration was created by Ande and every purchase helps support W.A.T.A.’s clean water programs and Ambassador initiatives in Guatemala.
It’s more than merchandise. It’s a collaboration built on friendship, creativity, and giving back to the communities that inspired it.
