Caserio Panhux, Guatemala

Dynamic Water is excited and proud to be partnering with the North Carolina State University Student Chapter of Engineers Without Borders to help change lives in Caserio Panhux, Guatemala.

The brilliant students at NC State have enthusiastically taken up the challenge of providing clean water to a community in need.  As we know, this is critically important work, but also difficult and costly work.  This Spring, we will be helping the NCSU-EWB team fund their work in Guatemala by raising $5,000.  Our Wake County golf tournament will help with this fundraising, but we will need other regular donations to meet the goal.

Here's some information from the NCSU EWB site on their project...

Caserio Panhux, a very small community of about 350 people, is located in central Guatemala. Many members of the community are indigenous Pokomchi. The community is one of many in the municipality, San Cristobal Verapaz, and is located 17 kilometers from the town center, an hour and a half by public transportation. This community does not have access to potable water and the women have to travel very far to existing water sources.

Water is not easily accessible; to improve the quality of life for the residents of Caserio Panhux, rainwater harvesting systems are being implemented in the community. This system ensures that clean water can be used all year round for essential daily tasks such as cooking, consumption, and hygiene so as to reduce the risk of waterborne diseases.
