The challenge
Access to safe water in Guatemala is a challenge for a significant proportion of the country’s population of 17 million people. According to UN and UNICEF data, 51% of households in Guatemala lack access to a safely managed water supply and in rural areas, 29% lack safe sanitation.

Since 2023
Planet Water Foundation’s work in Guatemala commenced in 2023 with the objective of addressing the issues around access to safe drinking water in the country.
Our work is focused on the deployment of our AquaTower water filtration systems which we have begun to deploy in elementary schools in Guatemala in conjunction with our water health and hygiene education program. Together, our solutions are helping to bring clean, safe water access to students, teachers and members of the communities surrounding our project sites.
Currently, our focus is on clean water projects in Santa Lucía Utatlán.
