Agua Viva International

Agua Viva International (AVI) is a non-profit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri. The organization employs 5 to 9 people and generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. AVI is dedicated to alleviating the global water crisis by providing clean and safe drinking water to underserved communities. AVI's mission revolves around three core pillars: education, equipment, and partnership. They offer health and hygiene education programs, typically focusing on women within the community, while simultaneously installing and maintaining sustainable water purification systems. These systems, supplied by Living Waters for the World (LWW), have a proven track record with over 1000 installations worldwide. The systems can provide clean water to communities of up to 3000 people at a cost of less than $10 per person. A key aspect of AVI's approach is collaboration. They actively seek to partner with local communities and individuals, fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility in ensuring long-term water security. AVI also creates opportunities for people to participate firsthand in projects, allowing them to witness the impact of their contributions.
