Our Mission
Agua Vida is a network of civil society organizations and individuals working in San Miguel de Allende to preserve and restore our finite water resources and to ensure the right to clean water for all through an informed and engaged society.
San Miguel de Allende and its surrounding communities are running out of water and the water that we do have is often contaminated with arsenic and fluoride. This urgent situation requires broad community participation in the search for solutions. The AguaVida Network was conceived as a seedbed for various forms of organized action. It is a permanent collaboration of organizations and is based on patterns of voluntary, reciprocal and horizontal communication, which stimulate joint thinking and action.
