VcA - Water for All / All for Water
Probably the coolest water in the world
Activated and inspired - for a world without thirst! Viva con Agua de St. Pauli e. V. is a non-profit development organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hamburg-St. Pauli.
WATER FOR ALL! ALL FOR WATER!
Drinking water scarcity is one of the biggest social problems of the 21st century. One billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water.
For Viva con Agua, this fact is a motivation to act in order to provide people with safe access to clean drinking water. This is why the majority of the profits from the sale of Viva con Agua spring water flow permanently into concrete and long-term drinking water projects of Viva con Agua.

The vision:
VIVA CON AGUA is committed to improving the drinking water supply and availability of sanitary facilities in countries of the global South. The open network thrives on the individual initiative of countless crews that are active in over 50 German cities. The largest partner for projects in the Global South is Welthungerhilfe. From 2009, supporters also developed in Switzerland, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands and Uganda.
In the first few years, over 2 million euros in donations were collected, and the water projects financed with these funds have improved the living conditions of over 200,000 people.
Viva con Agua is supported by FC St. Pauli and well-known artists such as Gentleman, Clueso, Maeckes, Marteria, Schandmaul, Wir sind Helden and Bela B, who have all given benefit concerts for the Viva con Agua projects.
The history:
Together with Welthungerhilfe, former FC St. Pauli player Benjamin Adrion launched the initiative in 2005 after experiencing the problematic drinking water supply in Cuba during a winter training camp. Viva con Agua's first project therefore began in Havana, where water dispensers were installed in 153 kindergartens and 4 sports boarding schools to provide clean drinking water. After Cuba, the initiative became involved in numerous other countries (currently 15 project countries), primarily in East Africa.
The registered association Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli was founded in 2006 and received a consultancy grant from Startsocial in its founding year and was subsequently recognized as a national winner. Just three years later, Benjamin Adrion was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his commitment.
This was followed in 2010 by the establishment of the Viva con Agua Foundation. Its statutory purpose is to promote development cooperation and environmental protection, public healthcare, youth welfare and sport. One of the founding donors was Bela B.
Viva con Agua is a member of the Social Entrepreneurship Network Germany.
The source:
Viva con Agua spring water comes from a contaminant-protected, underground reservoir and impresses with its special purity and quality. Due to its low sodium content, it is also particularly suitable for the preparation of infant formula and has an unmistakably gentle taste.
Seriously, Viva con Agua hardly makes a fuss about its own water, but it really is a super delicious water, no question about it!
The water:
Viva con Agua Wasser GmbH, founded at the end of 2010, sells bottled mineral water under the Viva con Agua brand. It is bottled in the Husum mineral spring, the Viva con Agua spring in Husum and, since 2022, for southern Germany from the "Aquabella spring" of the Fürstlich Bissinger Auerquelle (Bissingen, Bavaria).
Each bottle draws attention to the vision of "water for all" and, as a licensed product, also generates funds for the charitable work of Viva con Agua. So the decision to buy this product has a positive impact on the road to a world without thirst!

Viva con Agua mineral water is also available from us on a stationary basis, so anyone in the region who wants to switch to socially responsible water is welcome to do so through us. In addition to radius99, we also deliver VIVA CON AGUA regionally as a delivery service. Simply contact us.
