Caminos de Agua focuses on providing sustainable water solutions to communities in Mexico, with a particular focus on addressing the issue of groundwater contamination. The organization works to provide low-cost water filtration systems and rainwater harvesting systems to households and schools.
One of the challenges that Caminos de Agua faces is the lack of awareness and understanding of water contamination issues among local communities. The organization works to address this by providing education and outreach programs to raise awareness about the importance of clean water and the risks of groundwater contamination.
Caminos de Agua also works to build partnerships with local organizations and government agencies to promote sustainable water management practices. The organization has collaborated with local universities and research institutions to develop new water filtration technologies and has worked with government agencies to promote policies that support sustainable water management.
