Pestel is a small farming community located high in the mountains of Haiti's western peninsula. It was once a very vibrant and rich culture as the demand for Haiti's fruits and luxury goods was high, but as taxes have risen and demand has dropped over the years, the people have resorted to sustenance farming and selling what they can in the local markets. Because the town of Pestel is so far up the mountain, they have always had little to no access to buy water from local towns. They are also too high up to be able to drill any sort of well system. Their only options are to fetch water from a stream a day's hike away, or the collection of rain water. For many years, rainwater was sufficient, but with rising temperatures and shortened rainy seasons, this has become less and less of a viable option.
