The Problem: Heating water for basic daily use in the developing world is expensive and has a degrading environmental impact.

The Plan: To install and monitor inexpensive solar water heaters in Guatemalan households.

The Impact: Millions of households will gain access to affordable hot water without degrading local natural resources, and without polluting the air with daily fires.
