Safe Drinking Water for the Community of Belén, Tacaná, San Marcos, Guatemala
The project consists of building a gravity fed drinking water system, by tapping water from four springs, building two storage tanks and installing distribution pipes, that will provide for 27 households or a total of 165 inhabitants. Each family will have its own water tap.
Project beneficiaries will be trained in the installment and maintenance of the water distribution system. They have set management rules and will form different administration and maintenance committees.
