On May 17, the 7th Annual Speakeasy Gala brings 1920s flair to Richardson, Texas and behind the glitz is a powerful cause: clean water for Las Mercedes KM11 in northern Peru. This community faces dire challenges daily without clean water but a successful Speakeasy will bring safe, reliable water to the community.

With cocktails, jazz, and a mission that matters, this is a party and a lifeline. Your ticket helps bring clean water home to Las Mercedes.

Recently VAVV’s Founder Jacob Niemeier recorded with Dave Palmer of Guadalupe radio on everything from the spiritual importance of water, especially in the Easter season, to the importance of our upcoming Annual Fundraiser for our Mission in Peru!

In just under three months, the time will arrive for Vera Aqua Vera Vita’s Mission team to embark on their annual journey to educate, empower and connect with the people in rural Peru. The lessons our Missionaries share are vital to helping the community stay healthy, by mitigating the impacts of consumption of contaminated water sources and and so they can preserve the cleanliness of the water that will flow from the engineered clean water system VAVV will bring to fullfilment in collaboration with the people soon. 

“Now, less than 15% of the people in the community of Monte Castillo suffer from Chronic waterborne illnesses (i.e. Diarrhea, Persistent Stomach Pain, etc.) compared to what was over 50% of the population before our clean water project,” Jacob Niemeier, Founder of VAVV, wrote. “This is amazing progress!”
