Detailed description
Every 6 seconds, someone dies of disease related to lack of water or sanitation. 5 million people each year! Most are children less than 5 years old. Every family deserves access to basic sanitation. We have built many clean water systems, but water is not enough without sanitation and proper hygiene. This project will build sanitary latrines for 100 families of Las Lomas, in the municipality of San Jacinto, Guatemala. The use of the latrines aims to minimize the high rate of diseases causes by open defecation. Sounds yucky, but so very important.
