MEASTRXS DEL AGUA (Teachers of water)
Cali, Colombia

“We are teachers of water. Our slogan is “Healing the human being, we heal the water’s territories”

Maestrxs del Agua defines itself as a “Mobile Water School” that travels through urban and rural territories training water teachers. We emerged in Farallones Park in the city of Cali, Colombia. We started a water volunteering programme in 2014, which incorporates social actions to protect water as a common good and fundamental human right, as well as the conservation and restoration of water basins, rivers and wetlands as legal subjects with rights. This project focuses on governance, contributing to the construction of knowledge and local dialogues in social, political, academic and business platforms together with other socio-environmental initiatives.
