The Ministry of Water Care and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) activated a total of 44 community aqueducts for the benefit of indigenous families in the Mara municipality, Zulia state, through the program The Water Route.

At the end of 2024, well number 44 was activated to benefit 250 families in the El Botón sector, San Rafael parish, and electrical transformers and LED lamps were delivered to the community.

According to the website of Radio Nacional de Venezuela, communities such as La Esperanza, Don León, El Pozo, El Cucharo, La Tetona, Los Albaricos, El Palo, Las Cayenas, El Níspero, among others, have been served with the activation of these wells.

The implementation of this program for two years provides access to water resources not only for human consumption, but also for productive processes in the planting and raising of goats and sheep, the latter a practice rooted in the Añú and Wayúu indigenous people.

The Water Route also includes the construction of 15 jagueyes for the storage of vital liquid, in rural, indigenous and agricultural areas.
