Meet Brayan, the newest member of our Ecuadorian training team! Even though he's only been training with Agua Viva for a year, he has jumped in with so much enthusiasm and passion. We asked Brayan to share a bit about what motivates him:

"I work as a trainer with Agua Viva because I consider it a powerful tool for shaping character, strengthening values, and drawing children and young people closer to God. More than just teaching a sport, my purpose is to contribute to the holistic development of each participant by fostering respect, discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and love for others. I believe God calls us to serve using the talents He has given us, and for me, coaching is an opportunity to positively impact the lives of others. My desire is for every child, young person, and family involved with Agua Viva to find an environment of support, growth, and hope.

My goals within Agua Viva are to grow both personally and spiritually, developing myself each day into a better coach and servant. I wish to contribute to the ministry's growth by helping to shape individuals who are committed, disciplined, and grounded in solid Christian principles. I aspire for the children and young people not only to improve their skills but also to strengthen their relationship with God, learn to make good decisions, and become upstanding individuals who benefit their families and society. Furthermore, I would like to help Agua Viva continue to be a model of holistic development, where hard work and faith go hand in hand to transform lives and fulfill the purpose God has for each person."

Meet Elena! Elena has been with Agua Viva since we started working in Agua Viva. She is an incredible educator and a member of the Promesa Divina church, who manages the first water purification system Agua Viva ever constructed in Ecuador. We asked Elena about her experience as a leader with Agua Viva:

"My goal at Agua Viva is to help improve the quality of life in communities through education. Because I can contribute to improving the lives of people or communities that lack clean water and good health."

This International Youth Day, August 12, Agua Viva International celebrates the energy, compassion, and potential of young people to create stronger, healthier communities around the world.

Young people have a vital role to play in that vision. When communities have access to safe water, children and young people have more opportunities to spend time at school, with their families, and building their futures. And through volunteer service, young people can form meaningful relationships across cultures while learning what it means to serve others.

💙 To every young person working to make a difference: your voice, your ideas, and your willingness to serve matter. Happy International Youth Day from Agua Viva International! 🌍💧 https://www.un.org/en/observances/youth-day

This week we're continuing to spotlight our incredible leadership team in Ecuador, including Mario, one of our longest tenured In Country Coordinators in Ecuador. We asked Mario why he continues to work as a trainer for communities receiving Agua Viva water systems, and what he hopes to accomplish in this role.

"There's something incredibly fulfilling about realizing the work you do is actually helping entire communities. For me, that feeling is multiplied by the fact that those communities are close to home, in places I never thought were in need of clean water. From my first days working with AVI, I noticed how this mission is truly rewarding in a way other jobs I've done before simply aren't. Now that I'm more educated in the operational part of the system, sharing this knowledge with our communities and being able to help them solve any issues has become a cherished skill and that makes this job even more fulfilling.

Every community we've worked together with to bring them clean water has expressed a very touching gratitude. Whenever I teach them about their system or help them fix an issue, I can see how they gain a real sense of empowerment every time. This always reminds me that our help is something invaluable. I would like to continue bringing this kind of help to our communities in Ecuador so they can keep using their water systems successfully and also help AVI bring clean water to new communities we are yet to meet."

Meet our In Country Coordinator for Ecuador, Mayra Cerda! We recently asked to share a bit about her mission and motivation as one of the leaders of our Ecuador team.

"I work as an Agua Viva trainer because I believe in this project and the work Agua Viva carries out in the communities. I enjoy social outreach and how people benefit from it

My goals are to teach the Education program as effectively as possible, because with a good understanding, communities can use Agua Viva correctly and achieve better health outcomes."
