Women in the State of Mexico who want to learn basic plumbing skills and address water-related problems in their homes can now register for the Women Plumbers 2026 program.
The program combines theoretical and practical training with the delivery of tools, allowing participants to apply these skills to simple household repairs and installations and potentially turn them into a source of income.
What support can participants receive?
The program is part of the State of Mexico Water Secretariat and is focused on teaching basic plumbing skills. During the training, participants will learn about:
- Installations
- Repairs and leak detection
- Key tasks to reduce water waste within the home
According to the program guidelines, beneficiaries will receive a 40-hour theoretical and practical training course as well as a plumbing tool kit. With this support, they will be able to apply what they learn to simple repairs and address common plumbing issues without relying on third parties.
Registration requirements
The program is aimed at women over the age of 18 who are heads of household, reside in the State of Mexico, and live in a home experiencing water leak problems.
Although the program has been referenced for women between the ages of 18 and 64, the official call does not specify a maximum age limit. Instead, it identifies the following groups as eligible applicants:
- Women living in municipalities experiencing water supply cuts
- Residents of communities with high or very high levels of marginalization
- Indigenous women
- Afro-Mexican women
- Women living in municipalities with an indigenous presence
