Bolivia's government was pressurized by the World Bank to give up its control of municipal water supply. The government sold these rights for the city Cochabamba to a multinational company. The company immediately increased the price of water four times. Due to the high prices of water, Bolivia faced a popular protest. This protest was known as Bolivia's water war. This protest in Bolivia was led by the organization called FEDECOR. This organization comprised local professionals including engineers and environmentalist. They were supported by a federation of farmers, the confederation of factory workers, middle-class students from the University of Cochabamba and the city's growing population of homeless street children.
