Imara Africa Collective

About Imara Africa Collective

Imara Africa Collective is a voluntary association based in Baden that aims to help people in Kenya get clean drinking water. The focus is on Kibarani near Mombasa, where many families live without clean water and without working toilets.

What the association does

• Water: In September 2026 the association completed a water tank holding 10,000 litres in Kibarani. According to the association, more than 100 families get clean drinking water from it.
• Hygiene and education: The association's purposes also include education about hygiene and menstrual health as well as education and infrastructure projects.
• Events in the district: 240 people took part in the first Wasserlauf (water run) in Oberwaltersdorf, and the proceeds amounted to 4,360 euros. The association has announced a winter event for 20 and 21 November 2026.

How the association came about

Sabrina Morgenbesser from Austria and Nicholas Odhiambo from Kenya met in 2025 during an assignment for Médecins Sans Frontières (Ärzte ohne Grenzen) in Kenya. There they witnessed a cholera outbreak in Mombasa that clean water could have prevented. Morgenbesser is the chair, and Odhiambo leads the projects on site.
