Community Name: Aldea Patzac

Community Impact: 500 people, 44 students, new school will fit up to 60 students

Project Type: Structural School Project

Current Problem: The current adobe school building is experiencing issues due to aging and mild seismic activity. The current building includes two classrooms, and there are children in the community who cannot attend class. Women from the community currently prepare meals for the students under makeshift cover open and fire. The existing latrines are not sanitary and difficult to use when assisting young children.

Community Group/NGO: No NGO, working with EWB USA Guatemala country office.

Project Goal: We are designing a school structure that will be made of concrete. The new building will have three classrooms to allow for an additional classroom for younger children to begin classes, and a kitchen for preparing students' meals. We will also design improved latrines.
