Sed Colectiva is a non-profit organization committed to addressing the critical challenges of the water crisis in Mexico City. Recognizing the dire need for effective water management and governance, our organization operates on the principle that local communities hold the key to innovative and sustainable solutions. Through rigorous research, advocacy, and participatory design, Sed Colectiva works to illuminate the complexities of the crisis while empowering local communities to actively participate in crafting their own futures.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that community-centric, participatory decision-making is not only possible but essential. We observe that in many areas of Mexico City, communities have been largely neglected by formal governance structures, left to fend for themselves against a backdrop of increasing water scarcity and systemic inequality. Sed Colectiva steps into this gap as both a mediator and a participant, facilitating dialogues between the community, governmental agencies, and other stakeholders. By raising visibility of these issues and promoting inclusive practices, we aim to foster an environment where every voice is heard and every solution is weighed.

Our approach combines on-the-ground engagement with advanced data visualization tools to present clear, actionable insights into water usage, distribution, and conservation efforts. Our initiatives include workshops that teach sustainable water practices, development of local water committees, and campaigns that advocate for equitable water policies. Sed Colectiva’s efforts are geared towards creating a resilient infrastructure that can withstand the challenges posed by urban expansion and climate change, ensuring a sustainable water future for all residents of Mexico City.
