Objective: Describe some characteristics associated with the components of social well-being of the families of a rural village in the ixtlera zone in the semi-arid northeast of Mexico, which were identified through the multidisciplinary project carried out in this place, based on the participatory action research methodology. Methodology: We share data provided by quantitative and qualitative techniques of exploratory and descriptive scope, originated in this initial phase of the project, grouped into the components of domestic social well-being: income and education, health and nutrition, and house habitability. Results: We shared are restricted by the focus set on the processes of domestic social reproduction of families, leaving aside the relationships of these processes with other forms of political, economic and cultural reproduction of the subjects. Limitations: a larger sample is needed to delve deeper into the situation of the components of well-being, as well as further analyze the role of the actors representing the well-being institutions; transcending limitations implies overcoming the exploratory-descriptive phase. Conclusions: summarizes the findings about the components of domestic social well-being of families of this village and highlights the elements that make up the situation of water poverty in this small town, a problem that articulates other problems and that crosses the environmental, community and domestic scales of the project.
