While it is still 7 a.m. in Mexico, it is already 4 p.m. in Kenya. Austria and Switzerland lie somewhere in between. Three continents, thousands of miles apart – and yet, we ALL come together. Together for clean water.
At the Imara kick-off, what connects us became truly tangible:
We are an international team from Kenya, Mexico, Switzerland, and Austria, united by a shared desire to create sustainable change. We believe in something greater. In a world where clean water is not a privilege.
Everyone who participated in this kick-off is doing so on a voluntary basis.
Freely. From the heart.
Even on a Sunday, we take the time – because Imara Africa is more than just a project. It is a conviction.
To the question, "Why are you here today?", Patrick answers:
“Because I love this project and I believe in a world where every person has access to clean water.”
What we have achieved in such a short time fills us with gratitude and pride.
Founded just two months ago, we are now a registered association in Austria. We started with a deficit – because we personally believed in Imara Africa and invested our own money. Our initial goal was simply to close the year 2025 on a positive note.
But then something wonderful happened:
Through two events in November and our incredible supporters, we were able to surpass our 2025 fundraising goal by 173%.
The greatest gift, however, is something else:
A team has emerged.
A team that trusts one another. And a community in Kibarani that places its trust in us. We have been accepted – and that is priceless.
Looking ahead: 2026
We have set ambitious goals for 2026.
One project close to our hearts takes center stage: the construction of a well in Kibarani.
This is intended to provide the community with permanent access to clean drinking water. The fundraising goal for this project is €30,000.
But our work is much more:
Imara Africa works in the WASH sector – Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene.
This means we take a holistic approach, and these areas are also part of our mission:
- wastewater management
- hygiene to prevent diseases
- access to toilets
- menstrual health for girls and women
- waste management
We know:
clean water alone is not enough.
Change happens where solutions are sustainable and developed together with the local community.
We have big plans.
And we firmly believe that it is possible.
Because together, we can achieve ANYTHING! 💧
