Heart to Heart International (HHI) is improving global health through humanitarian initiatives that connect people and resources to a world in need. We achieve this mission using two key strategies: the energy of volunteers and the equity of strategic partners.
Scope of Service Opportunity
Non-medical volunteers will support the educational activities of the water, sanitation and hygiene program that includes: installing water filters, cooking stoves, latrines, monitoring the use and operation of the filter at the home of the families, participating in de-worming campaigns, reforestation and other activities at the schools.
Water for Life
Billions of people around the world suffer every day because they lack access to clean water or adequate sanitation, causing water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, which is the number one killer of children in developing countries.
Guatemala is in the same boat. Nearly one in four people lacks access to safe drinking water, and one in three lacks access to adequate sanitation. The issue is complicated in areas such as Solola.
But Heart to Heart is working to reverse this trend through a comprehensive Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) initiative that seeks to ensure everyone in the region has water for life.
