Viva con Agua- our heart project
For more than two years, Viva con Agua has been our heart's project. The organisation, which advocates for access to clean water with joyful activism, has charmed its way into our hearts not only through close friendships and contacts, but also through its inspiring positive attitude and authenticity.
Much love to the entire KEEN team! During our first ‘Wasserball’ event, the Keen agency provided us with unwavering support across all fronts – from event planning, organisation, and execution to technical assistance, stage management, and photographic documentation.
The remarkable team led by Mexx and Marcel guided us through every phase of the ‘Wasserball’ journey, even volunteering their entire team's effort on the day of the event. That's what we call true commitment!
You guys absolutely nailed it, staying by our side as a rock-solid anchor throughout. A sincere thank you for making everything possible❤ United in the cause of clean water and social engagement!
Team Wasserball- Viva con Agua
"Water for all - all for water"
KEEN + Viva con Agua = Match
Originating in Germany, Viva con Agua is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean drinking water and sanitary facilities in developing countries. Through various initiatives and projects, they've brought clean water to many while raising awareness about water-related issues and humanitarian aid on a broader scale.
Around a year ago, we formalized our partnership with Viva con Agua Austria to strengthen our friendship. We share the common goal of tackling challenges with sustainable, social, and ecological solutions. The motto "Water for all - all for water" has become our guiding principle, which we wholeheartedly embody and advocate. KEEN lends its support to Viva con Agua by offering expertise and acting as a sparring partner in event planning. Furthermore, we donate at our discretion to aid their essential projects.
Our First Joint Project
The 'Wasserball- Die Nacht, die Wasser macht!'
A hallmark of Viva con Agua is its seamless fusion of art, music, and social activism. Numerous artists and musicians actively support the organization, and the idea for the "Waterball" was born during a creative team evening.
This alternative ball in Vienna aimed to raise funds and awareness for Viva con Agua's water projects. KEEN was immediately on board, enthusiastically contributing to its realization. The efforts paid off, and the evening of May 13, 2023, at the Ottakringer Brewery turned into a magical event. Featuring a diverse program, artists like rapper Maeckes, the band Farewell Dear Ghost, activist Arabel Karajan, beatboxing world champion Skiller, and other talented performers captivated the audience. All profits were channeled towards Viva con Agua's project work. We admit that the project posed greater challenges than expected, given the limited budget. Nonetheless, undeterred, we persisted, working diligently to find service providers who were willing and able to support us at every level of the project. The Waterball deepened the friendship between KEEN and Viva con Agua, allowing us to learn a great deal from each other.
A Glimpse into the Future
Our commitment to Viva con Agua goes beyond the Waterball. We keep the organisation in mind for other projects as well, such as the Baden-Baden Lebt Festival in June 2023, where we ran a bar whose profits benefited Viva con Agua. More projects are in the pipeline.
The friendship between KEEN and Viva con Agua has yielded numerous positive impacts both professionally and personally. Recently, Viva con Agua honored us by appointing us honorary members and inviting us to join their advisory board. This touched us deeply, and we readily accepted
