Johanna Hernandez, 23, and her sons David, 5, and Noe, 3 gather water from the Hato River in Jamastran ADP, Honduras. Drinking dirty water affected all of life in Jamastran, in Eastern Honduras, creating perpetual health problems for the 3,000 people who live in two communities—Sartenejas and Zamorano—many of them children. Men, women, and children got their water the Hato River. “We found it was contaminated with Hepatitis A and poisons,” says Dr. Zulema Lopez, who blames the animals who drink and expel waste there and the pesticides that trickle into the river from the coffee and tobacco fields that provide residents with a meager income. “It’s normal to see children throwing up and expelling worms,” says Ana Lainez, the clinic’s nurse. The clinic routinely treats children who are malnourished and suffering from diarrhea—sometimes even cholera. Some damage can never be undone. “It affects their cognitive development,” says Dr. Zulema. If that’s not enough, the clinic gets its water from the very source of so much illness—the Hato River. Lips pursed, Nurse Ana opens the tap in the delivery room. Brown water runs out like tea steeped too long in a pot. “We can’t even wash our hands in it,” she says. Families suffer the most. Every day, Johanna Hernandez, 23, would walk a 6K (3.7 miles) the average distance people around the world walk to get water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. Three times a day, she would fill an old wheelbarrow with empty soda bottles and take her sons, David, 5, and Noe, 3, to the river. Shivering, she waded knee-deep into the cold, chocolate-colored water, while the boys played in the sand on the bank. Filling soda bottles, their once-cheerful labels peeling with wear, is both tedious and dangerous. Only a few months before, David had been caught in the current, drifting out of his
