A girl washes her hair at a community well at dawn in a small community in Cabañas, El Salvador in June, 2018.  

Most people in this community of 112 families, have no access to running water and must come to the local well as early as 2am during the dry season for water. Even though politicians make promises during election season, the community has yet to see any change in their situation. Many have built make shift plumbing systems between homes to distribute water but most use rain water and community wells.
