El Movemiento Mi Cometa

El Movemiento Mi Cometa is a community organization based in Ecuador that promotes new organizing methods for the promotion of human and civil rights. Their work, focusing on children, young adults and families, is generating a social movement of urban-marginalized neighborhoods in the city of Guayaquil focused on defending the human right to water and sanitation services. Mi Cometa is building community capacity to critically analyze and propose alternatives, supported by advances in technology and social structures to carry out a full campaign to promote human and civil rights. UUSC supports Mi Cometa to organize "community observatories" to defend the right for access to good quality water and public services for the poor residents of Guayaquil.
