Today I had the opportunity to give a presentation to 22 teenagers at the Montessori School about IMARA Africa and our work – with a special focus on water, sanitation, and hygiene.
I was thrilled by the many questions from the students and the great energy in the room.
At the end, they even made a donation from their class fund – a truly moving moment! A few days later, I received this wonderful summary written by one of the students!
Our two Imara Africa events were a complete success – filled with warmth, inspiring conversations, and people who support us in such a wonderful way. We are deeply grateful for these special afternoons.
Two afternoons of warmth, connection, and coming together.
Together, we explored Kenyan crafts, enjoyed homemade waffles and fresh punch, and shared inspiring thoughts on Africa, WASH, and the significance of clean water. We experienced firsthand how deeply the issue of water touches people’s hearts – and how many are willing to contribute. Your immense interest in Imara Africa, your openness, and your generous donations mean so much to us.
You make it possible for us to provide more and more people with access to clean water, step by step. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Together, we are creating sustainable change.
Our first Imara Africa video shoot
Sometimes things happen that deeply touch us and remind us why we started this journey.
Through our friend Anneke, who made the connection, something truly special became possible.
The talented and experienced video producer Clemens Sigel donated a video production for Imara Africa.
The shoot took place in a professional environment, and it was filled with warmth, joy, and a genuine passion for our project.
We are endlessly grateful for this incredible support!
“Kenya through my own eyes” – An evening that moved and connected us
For the first time, I had the opportunity to present “Kenya through my own eyes” to a selected audience - made up of close friends and family .I shared exclusive insights into the work of Imara Africa.
The evening took place as a true living room talk – personal, warm, and intimate.
The audience was wonderfully diverse: from 10 to 86 years old, all generations were represented. And once again, it became clear that the issue of water touches us all – regardless of age, background, or continent.
As we talked about Kenya, the people we met, and the challenges around access to clean water, a very special atmosphere emerged:
quiet moments, reflection, honest emotion – and a sense of hope.
Many guests were visibly moved, others inspired, and everyone left with something to think about.
This evening showed us how important it is to tell stories, raise awareness, and take people along on our journey.
We are already looking forward to continuing our series of talks with a wider audience. We want to show even more people why Imara Africa was founded – and why clean water truly changes lives.
In October 2025, we officially founded Imara Africa as an association in Austria. A true passion project that brings together people who want to support underprivileged communities in Africa.
We empower underprivileged communities across Africa through sustainable solutions in the areas of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).
Because clean water, safe toilets, and proper hygiene are not a luxury. They are the foundation for health, education, growth, awareness, dignity, and real opportunities for the future.
We work locally, collaboratively, and sustainably—so that people don’t become dependent on aid, but can build their own strength.
So that they can make decisions independently.
So that the future becomes opportunity – not chance.
Imara means: strong.
And this is exactly what we aim to make possible through our work.
We warmly invite everyone to become part of our growing community, to get involved, contribute, and help shape the future together with us.
Join us and become part of Imara Africa – together, we can achieve more!
