27 hours of pure energy: That was stream4WATER 2026!

On March 21 at 7:10 PM, stream4WATER went live. 27 hours later, one thing was clear: this was no ordinary livestream, it was a real movement. Over 50 talents took turns at the digital microphone, supported by a fantastic community that didn't just watch, but took action. The result? 1.25 million people reached and over 10,775 euros in donations. A weekend that impressively demonstrates just how much power, joy, and team spirit lie within digital activation!

Highlights that stick in your mind

Naturally, a highlight is that we were able to achieve such a fantastic donation result. Our lineup was as colorful, loud, and vibrant as water itself:

Baumgart played his biggest concert yet in front of over 2,000 live viewers. Not a classic setup, but a moment that could only happen in exactly this constellation.

Brix Schaumburg spent four hours on the indoor cycling bike. No break, no shortcut. Every pedal stroke was a clear sign for clean drinking water.

Tara-Louise Wittwer read from her book “Nemesis' Töchter” at Villa Viva, reaching over 300 people in her stream. Words that stick and simultaneously create an impact.

Helge Schneider went live, completely improvised and 100% Helge Schneider. His conclusion: “Sunday noon is the best noon.” A phrase that lingers because it captures exactly this moment.

And then all the other voices, sounds, and ideas: Diese Rubi, Marius Nitzbon, Querbeat Greta, Maeckes with music. Hellge and Andy Zingler with humor. Leon Labu and Mathea, who actively involved their communities and drew them into the action.

Not to forget: the many crews and supporters in the background, in front of the screens, and right in the middle of the stream. We cannot name everyone here. But every single person was part of it.

Thank you.

"This weekend: 24h Stream 4 Water by Viva con Agua - so many awesome creators, artists, musicians joining in: over €10,000 collected - that's a well in Uganda. A whole well 🥹" (Pauline Sophia Machtolf)

ALL IN FOR WATER: Nothing works without teamwork

However, the real power of this event lay in what happened between the slots. stream4WATER is a giant team project. Hosts like Leo Brendel, Robert Lindemann, and Patrick Schnitzler held the stream together while dozens of processes ran in parallel in the background.

One of the nicest takeaways: Our crews also participated in the stream with full energy! Countless supporters were active in the live stream, and the Stuttgart crew spontaneously organized their own tattoo session. This is exactly what shows: stream4WATER is not a linear event, but a living system. We build communities for water!

The voices from the team and supporters speak for themselves:

"I am so grateful for the Viva con Agua team. This event requires such complex project planning and execution, and once again we showed: ALL IN FOR WATER and we made it." Maik, Circle Lead: Digital Growth, Viva con Agua

What these numbers and moments mean at the end of the day was put beautifully in a nutshell by manager Paulina:

Let's keep making waves!

stream4WATER shows how culture, reach, and impact can come together with pure joy. Not everything has to be perfect, but it has to be real. When we pool our strengths, something is created that is bigger than all of us.

Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026

This week we are celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 – one of the most important days of the year for our global project work. Why? Because for millions of people worldwide, menstruation is still associated with shame, exclusion, a lack of access to hygiene products, and educational inequality. Because periods must not be an obstacle to education, health, or self-determination. And because we can only create a period-friendly world together.
