Paraguay
In Guaraní, Y Kuaa means “water wisdom.” It is precisely this wisdom —shared, lived, and built in community—that drives this new stage of our work in Paraguay.
Y Kuaa II joins the national initiative “Construction of water and sanitation systems for small towns and rural and Indigenous communities in Paraguay,” led by the National Environmental Sanitation Service (SENASA). The project aims to strengthen community water systems, promote responsible tariff payment, and foster coordinated, collective work among the Sanitation Boards (Juntas de Saneamiento).
The project works in five rural communities and five small towns across the departments of Caaguazú, Concepción, Guairá, Paraguarí, and San Pedro.
In rural communities, we will promote the timely payment of drinking water service fees, and in small towns, we will encourage effective connection to sanitary sewer systems, which are key behaviors for ensuring the long-term sustainability of services.
More than just building infrastructure, this project is committed to well-being, sustainability, and empowering communities to transform their own future
