Agua X Vida (H20 For Life) is an Argentinian-based non-profit organization created in 2009 that seeks to provide access to clean, safe and clean water to communities in Africa, by working together with the communities and empowering them through training and collective participation in the construction of water supply systems, which allows the sustainability of the project over time.

Agua X Vida has been operating in Guinea Bissau for over 10 years, where they have implemented innovative and sustainable solutions for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) challenges. With more than 100 projects developed, they have positively impacted the lives of over 30,000 people in Guinea Bissau. Agua x Vida is now scaling up its impacts across Africa by establishing in Nigeria, taking lessons from their decade of experience in Guinea Bissau, whilst also leveraging on the invaluable experience of its partner, Network of Water Rights Initiative [NEWARI] – a multiple award-winning #WASH Network in Nigeria.

At Network of Water Rights Initiative [NEWARI], we are proud this development and we remain committed to enhancing access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services through human rights and responsibility-based approach.
