Indigenous Mayan women washing hair and laundry in a stream
If it has rained recently, there is a shorter walk to a water supply where hair can be washed, drinking water can be obtained, and Guatemalan women can use soap and large rocks to launder their clothes. It is often a long walk on a winding dirt-covered path, with water jugs on their heads, laundry baskets on their hips, and child wrapped and attached to their backs.
