Armed with machetes, five Hondureños make their way up the face of El Montañon – The Big Mountain. It’s the dry season in Honduras, and it’s hot; the men keep to the edge of a stream, sometimes singing, sometimes talking, but never resting. Two hours into their hike, they find their destination blocked by tropical vines and dense jungle growth. They get out their machetes.

As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been so grateful for the ongoing support we’ve received. And while this difficult time has meant we’ve had to change how we’re doing things, we can still report our water projects and healthcare work in Comayagua is moving along!

When you live in a remote Honduran village, and the only water you can drink comes from streams contaminated with parasites, you drink it, whether or not you are aware of the risks. There isn't much choice.
