Our Story
Asociación Pozos Agua Viva (ASOCAVIVA) is an organization founded on faith and Christian principles.
Our primary goal is to provide safe drinking water to remote areas in Guatemala while sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ASOCAVIVA was established in 2019, but with our staff's extensive experience and long careers in drilling, we guarantee top-quality results in every project.
ASOCAVIVA drills water wells and works to improve the health and quality of life in the communities we serve. We achieve this through our Health and Hygiene program, which teaches essential personal hygiene and water preservation practices. Through these lessons, we also encourage individuals to build a closer relationship with God.
Building relationships, sharing the Gospel, drilling, and teaching are all part of the meaningful experiences you'll have when you join our team.
We invite you to become part of the ASOCAVIVA family and help us transform lives in remote areas of Guatemala.
