Bramadero is a small rural community with 107 inhabitants (37 households) closely related to a bigger community named San Rafael. This community is highly dependent on agricultural cycles and this represents the main income generating activity. The time spent by the community and the children to collect water is one of the biggest problems, also the lack of access to water in the rainy season.

Guatemala

La Bendición is a community of about 500, made up almost entirely of people of Mayan descent who were forcibly displaced from their traditional home in the highlands in the wake of Guatemala’s civil war. In the early 2000s, they settled on a ruined coffee plantation in the municipality of Escuintla in the southern part of the country.
