Winter Waterland Gala: December 2nd, 2021
The Winter Waterland Gala is Well Aware’s largest event of the year, bringing together our dedicated supporters from Austin and beyond for a night of clean water impact and connection. This year’s gala will be an extra special occasion as we gather in person for the first time in two years — at the historic Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin — recognizing the challenges we’ve overcome together and the incredible feats we’ve accomplished for this mission despite the pandemic. Join us for a celebratory night!
Thank you to those who made our annual Winter WATERLAND Gala a night to remember! We are grateful to the many who attended, supported, volunteered, sponsored, and made this one of our most special fundraising events yet So many lives will be transformed through clean water all because of YOU!

No matter what the word is for water where you’re from, water is a universal necessity for life. Every person deserves to have access to clean, drinkable water -- yet nearly 1 billion do not.
Together, though, we DO have the power to create a world where clean water can be accessible for all. 🌍

Meet Ibrahim 👋 a student at Njoguini Primary School who loves biology and dreams of being a soccer player! ⚽️
In 2019, Well Aware rehabilitated a well at Ibrahim’s school. Now, the 300 students and surrounding community have a steady supply of clean water whenever they need it.🚰
.
Ibrahim feels that reliable access to clean water enables him to go to school everyday, and has significantly raised the hygienic standards of the school and the entire community. “Water is life!”💧🙌
Thank you for supporting so many students like Ibrahim!
