For over a decade, the Midday Rotary Club of San Miguel de Allende has been dedicated to addressing the urgent need for clean and accessible water in rural communities. One of its most impactful projects is the Rain Harvesting System. This initiative has improved water access and empowered local families with skills and knowledge for self-sufficiency. The rain harvesting system is designed to capture and store rainwater during the wet season, providing a reliable source of clean water for families throughout the year. The system is built directly into homes, where rainwater is channeled from the roof through PVC pipes into a ferrocement cistern. Before collection, the roof undergoes a thorough cleaning to ensure water purity. The stored water is primarily used for drinking and cooking, significantly enhancing the quality of life for participating families.
