Mission Statement: Water for Humans develops reliable sanitation, clean drinking water, and cooking technologies in partnership with underserved, indigenous communities.
About us: Water for Humans is a US-based non-profit and social venture enterprise, working in Southern Mexico. We hold advanced degrees in sustainable development, environmental engineering, business administration, research methods, computer science, physics, & linguistic anthropology.
Our Vision: We envision a just and sustainable future where indigenous communities are empowered to protect their environment and inspired to be entrepreneurs of their economic growth.
Our Projects: Our projects involve building collaborations with local indigenous communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), social entrepreneurs, universities, and governments to ensure long-lasting change for the indigenous populations.
We designed our projects in partnership with local communities to:
Water for Humans provides culturally appropriate technology solutions to challenges raised by communities. Becuase technology development in challenged regions is a complex social and economic problem, we partner with experts in social work (community capacity building) to enable us to engage with communities to co-create sustainable solutions to the issues they identify. Once the underlying challenges and needs are identified co-creating appropriate solutions leads to both successful technology implementations and improved economic opportunities.
Currently, we work in indigenous rainforest communities in the southern Mexican states of Oaxaca & Chiapas with our local social work experts, The Hunger Project – Mexico. Oaxaca and Chiapas have the country’s highest levels of unemployment, illiteracy, and lack of access to basic human services like clean water and sanitation.
