Summary
Installation of an 8-faucet hand-washing station at Janlay School.
Background
The school “Escuela Oficial Rural Mixta Janlay” is located in JANLAY a community in the Municipality of Nebaj. Nebaj belongs to the so-called Ixil-Triangle in the Department of El Quiché in Guatemala, Central America. The community Janlay is located approximately 12 km north-west of Nebaj. Set amid a mountainous landscape, the climate is cold, humid and rainy.
The school’s sanitary facilities include flush toilets. The hand-washing stations installed lack water, especially in the dry season. The only water access is via a traditional sink with open water reservoir. The water is easily contaminated and therefore major source of germ-distribution. A hand-washing station with water reservoir will be installed to improve the children’s hygiene.
The village has a gravity-flow water system implemented by INFOM in 1996. The system consists of a spring box, a distribution tank and a household connection for every family.
