What is Viva con Agua? – Water is a human right!

Lisa-Marie — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 11:00:04 +0000

Viva con Agua – An international network of people and companies and a non-profit organization with the goal of making water accessible to all. The aim is to provide clean drinking water and basic sanitation with a focus on the Global South. Already thousands of people support the organization and help actively according to the motto: “Water for all, all for water”! You can find out more about the aid organization here!

Viva con Agua: Water for all!

Clean water is far from reaching everyone. There is no clean drinking water for 771 million people. Worldwide, 3.6 billion people have no access to safe sanitation. For about 1.7 billion people, even basic sanitation is not accessible. Hygiene facilities are also not safely accessible for 2.3 billion people.

The role of soccer in the foundation

Foundation – In 2005, the first team of the FC St. Pauli soccer club went to Cuba for a training camp. During his stay in Cuba, Benjamin Adrion decided to get socially involved. In doing so, he pursued the goal of reducing the appalling conditions caused by a lack of water supply and thus laid the foundation stone for the nonprofit organization. Through the first project (water dispensers in 120 kindergartens), donations in the amount of 50,000 euros were collected, which even provided 153 kindergartens and four more sports schools with water dispensers. Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V. was founded the following year. The soccer club made everything possible and still supports the organization today. For example, the soccer club makes the Millerntor Stadium available for the social art and culture festival “Millerntor Gallery” to take place. At home games, VCA is allowed to collect deposit cups.

Viva con Aguas Approach: WASH Projects

WASH projects – With the help of joyful actions in the field of music, sports and art, the organization wants to raise awareness for clean water and thus generate donations. These funds are used to finance WASH projects. WASH means water, sanitation and hygiene. These projects are intended to improve the living conditions of many people in the long term.

Anela Jahmena and Tsidi Bang-Bang: Lists

Listen is a song about the project LISTENING. In this project different women from the south and the north meet each other. With them: their stories. The meetings are about sharing and connecting experiences and stories of inequality.

Here is the film about the project LISTENING:
