Safe Water in Schools
Safe Water in Schools is a comprehensive program implemented by the Cántaro Azul Foundation to generate a safe, sustainable and replicable model for supplying water to rural schools. Its goal is to ultimately link and position the model in public policy. The program is implemented through a participatory strategy that involves students, teachers and families in various activities of communication, organization, operation and management of the systems. An essential component to guarantee the sustainability of the systems is the formation of Community Networks and Student Networks, since through them users manage their needs, strengthening their capacities for cooperation, unity and self-management.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
