Partnerships
Strategic Alliances
In 2013, after an extensive two year process, a coalition of actors including Caminos de Agua, numerous grassroots organizations, concerned citizens, representatives from rural communities, and international observers, presented a case in front of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal – an international human rights body that oversaw many abuses in Mexico in our early years of operation.
INANA A.C.
INANA is an association made up of people with diverse knowledge. A key partner of Caminos de Agua, they dedicate their time and passion to finding spaces for meeting and understanding between the natural environment and people to create balanced and sustainable ways of living. Much of their work has been dedicated to the care and conservation of Native Bees through education, community engagement, and outreach. Their intention is to move, mobilize, and transform in awe of these creatures that pollinate life.
Their activities also focus on building learning communities around bio-construction with reed and raising awareness on the importance of water.
CUVAPAS
CUVAPAS (United Communities for Life and Water) believe in the God of life and are driven by the belief that life has been entrusted to them to care for. They feel it is time to strive to give back to nature what has been taken from it. This is seen as a sign of love made of life, a commitment of faith. They are a home, a family that does not give up, fighting to defend their territory. It is like a family where everyone is united, striving to achieve success, and they are already achieving a lot. To continue this care, they are rescuing with great effort, enthusiasm, and spirit.
SECOPA-COENLAVIS
Pozo Ademado Community Services is a regional civil association working in two municipalities, supporting community services as its name suggests. This process has been guided by faith and service. They began by promoting health through alternative methods, including medicinal plants, focusing on health and nutrition. The central goal is to improve how people can nourish themselves. Now, the focus on water has been added, giving them the third of their three major pillars. They promote water harvesting and encourage organization within each community.
San Cayetano Community Center
They have sought to promote a dignified life in rural areas to prevent farmers from being forced to leave their homeland to seek work in the United States or large cities. They view the countryside and farmers as a reservoir of essential values for building a more humane world. The lack of opportunities has driven farmers away from their land for years, leaving the country increasingly devoid of vital signs of life such as community dimension, solidarity, social cohesion, and the care of our common home. One of the foundations for moving in this direction is generating hope within communities, which is why they place a strong emphasis on the inspiration of faith to strengthen and sustain their projects.
“We are people who know how to help, support, accompany, and sustain… We motivate, coordinate, drive, encourage, and deliver… We are responsible… We would like to ensure that the places that still provide for us will continue to provide for new generations.”
