About This Project
Petrona Yaxon is a single mother living in San Antonio Suchitepéquez, Guatemala. She is raising her young daughter on her own, relying on occasional informal work that provides very little and unpredictable income. Although Petrona’s home has running tap water outside, it is not safe to drink. The water is contaminated and has caused illness for both her and her daughter. A simple clean water filter would make a life-changing difference for this small family.
