Climate-driven changes in precipitation are resulting in increasing deficits in surface and ground water availability as well as floods in Mexico City. The risks that Mexico City faces from flooding and water scarcity will have increasing livelihood impacts, affecting the most vulnerable.

The project seeks to enhance resilience of vulnerable families- particularly women - to manage increasing climate risks on water availability and floods that negatively affect their livelihoods through improved local knowledge and capacity building; improved access to water through rainwater harvest systems and; enhanced direct access to finance particularly for women-led households for the implementation of rainwater harvest systems.
