WIHA's 5th Annual Fundraiser Sat Nov 14th at Hyatt House DC, Doors open at 4PM

FIVE YEARS OF IMPACT

Five years ago, WIHA began with a vision: to help bring clean, safe water to communities that need it most. What started as a commitment to make a difference has grown into a mission shaped by dedication, generosity, and the support of people who believe that access to clean water should be a basic right for everyone.

Now, we invite you to be part of this special milestone as we celebrate WIHA’s 5th Anniversary on Saturday, November 14, from 4:00–8:00 PM at Hyatt House in Washington, DC. Hosted by Adedana, the evening will bring together supporters, partners, and community members for meaningful connections, an exciting auction, and music by DJ Mesfin. While we celebrate how far we’ve come, we also look ahead to the work still to be done

100% of event proceeds will directly support WIHA’s next clean-water project in Kenya, helping fund local teams, water system construction, and ongoing monitoring to ensure communities have access to safe, reliable water for years to come. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, partners, and supporters whose generosity makes this work possible.

Join us in celebrating five years of impact and investing in the work ahead. Click the link below to purchase your tickets and be part of the evening.

Paid parking is available at the Hyatt House garage, with access from 9th Street NW near O Street.
