Berlin, May 3, 2022 – 771 million people worldwide do not have assured access to clean drinking water. About 489 million of them even lack basic water supply. Yet, water is the basis of all life and a fundamental human right. aware_ shares Viva con Agua’s vision of access to clean drinking water, hygiene facilities and basic sanitation for all people. With Viva con Agua, the Berlin-based start-up offers its speakers the opportunity to donate as part of the aware_ Academy. Since August last year, around 3,000 euros have been collected in this way.
“Positive and joyful activism is key for Viva con Agua. We strongly encourage creative ways of supporting us and our vision of water for all. We are grateful for this magnificent support from the aware_ Academy.“ – Carolin Stüdemann, Executive Board at Viva con Agua
