Over the next couple months, we have so many opportunities to share our work with the community in and around Newark, DE. If you’re in the area, stop by and introduce yourself at one of our events—we’d love to meet you in person!
The Return of Thirst Reverse (two locations)
We’re returning to Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant for two Thirst Reverse Events. On Wednesday, April 19, you can find us in Newark, DE, from 11:00am-9:00pm. Then on Wednesday, May 3, we’ll be at Iron Hill in Ardmore, PA, from 4:00pm-9:00pm. You’ll also have a chance to purchase Kenyan-made beaded jewelry and handicrafts at our table.
20% of your food (in-house or to go) and non-alcoholic beverage purchases will be donated to Water is Life Kenya for our water and livestock projects, along with $1 from every pint of Kenyan Quench, which will be on tap. Let your server know you’d like to support Water is Life Kenya.
Reservations are recommended for both locations.

University of Delaware’s AG Day
For the first time, Water is Life Kenya will be representing the Maasai community and our Livestock as a Business program at UD’s AG day! Activities, entertainment, animals, plant sales, educational exhibits, entertainment, and UDairy Creamery ice cream will all be present. The 2023 Ag Day theme, “Ag Around the Corner,” puts the spotlight on local farms and wildlife, with a particular focus on opportunities for young people to engage and participate in the future of agriculture and natural resources throughout Delaware. We can’t wait to be a part of this awesome event!
