A community gathered for clean water.
On June 13, supporters, families, our honoree, and performers came together in Venice around Give Water Give Life's work in Nigeria and Uganda.
When we give water, a community is transformed.
The evening brought people together around work that continues far beyond one room. Give Water Give Life has served fifteen communities across Nigeria and Uganda.
Every project starts with a written community agreement: a site for the water point, access for the community, and a plan to care for it after handover.
These are organization-wide results and practices, not a claim about the outcome of this single event.
Guests, families, and friends.
The evening was made possible by people who chose to gather around the same purpose.
The people who carried the evening.
We are grateful to the honoree, performers, founder, guests, and friends who gave the program its meaning.

One well changes everything.
A completed system belongs to the community that uses it. Local ownership, maintenance, management, and shared access are part of the project from the beginning.
