Access to water in Honduras

Mario and Juana Francisca Chavez and their three children no longer have to walk back and forth from a communal tank in their Honduran village of Plan Grande to get water.

The Chavezes and 52 other families in the Santa Cruz de Yojoa municipality now have clean water in their homes, thanks to a water distribution project developed by Habitat Honduras in partnership with Mexichem and the Santa Cruz de Yojoa municipality.

Community members worked to create the connection system using donated construction materials, and Habitat provided funding, technical expertise and assistance, as well as water management training for the families to make the best use of this vital resource.
