It all starts with water …

Just $30 can provide clean, disease-free water for two entire years!

Clean water is a big part of what keeps us all healthy. It should be a normal part of daily life for everyone, everywhere – but it isn’t. Access to safe water in Guatemala is a challenge. In 2017, the Environmental Ministry affirmed that 95% of surface water sources in Guatemala were found to be contaminated. Limited access to potable water affects the country’s most vulnerable populations, and this contributes to more than 1,100 infant and child deaths every year due to consumption of contaminated water.

Hope of Life is working to change that reality through distribution of point of use water filters, installation of clean water wells, and construction of water delivery systems in rural communities. With the help of amazing people like you, we’re working in some of the hardest to reach villages in Guatemala. Together, we’ve already reached hundreds of families with clean water essentials, enabling entire communities to stay healthy, unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

Josue’s Story

Josue lives with his family in the community of El Cimmaron. At just 6 years old, Josue and his siblings helped his mother by fetching water from the local stream – about an hour’s walk from their mountainside home. This same stream was used by many households for bathing, washing dishes and doing laundry – late arrival to the stream meant no fresh water for drinking. That was until HOL built a well in his village, giving his family and neighbors direct access to water for the first time ever! With the gift of a point of use water filter, Josue and his family can be confident that the water they are consuming is clean, and they no longer have to walk through dangerous jungle to gather it.

Your gift of a point of use water filter will provide clean, potable water and improve the life and health of a child today, and create opportunities for their future.

Change a life, just like Josue’s!
