Second Quarter 2022 Executive Director Message

However, there is hope because we are already halfway through the year, and I am excited to share with you that Vera Aqua Vera Vita is on pace to raise $200,000+ and bring sustainable, clean water to 1,500+ people in two communities in Peru by the end of the year!

An example of this hope & generosity is the success of our recent 4th Annual “Evening at a Speakeasy” Fundraiser in which we raised $30,800, exceeding our goal by $800. With these funds we will be able to bring clean water to 640 people!” …
