About this Event
We are excited to invite you to attend the 4th annual Impact Film Festival (IFF). The festival celebrates inspiring social ventures and philanthropic organizations by screening a curated list of short films.
Amazingly, Mathew Loguya, Executive Director of Feat Africa, will be joining us as our feature guest speaker. The film Ngongakinda (Resiliency) tells the story of Matthew and other South Sudanese refugees providing safe water and decent jobs in the Ugandan communities hosting the refugees.
The event will take place at the Apollo Cinema in Kitchener on November 20th and will begin at 6 pm with a Champion's Dinner hosted at the space of the Apollo Theatre. At 7:00 pm, we'll begin our film festival, also at the Apollo Theatre.
You are welcome to join us for dinner and the films or just for the film festival!
For those who are unable to join in-person, we'll be hosting a YouTube Livestream event of the film festival and panel discussion (link will be sent in event reminder email).
If you'd like to make a donation to SWSV and you don't require a charitable tax receipt, the Eventbrite registration has an option to donate to the project. If you prefer a tax receipt, you can donate to SWSV right now through Canada Helps *See below details on how to donate* and then return to continue your registration for the event.
For reference, a donation of $10/month helps a family in East Africa purchase a water purifier that will provide safe drinking water for up to 25 years (and save that family about $1,000 in costs treating water related illnesses).
See you at the Impact Film Festival 2025 on November 20!
When donating through Canada Helps, select "Enviro-Stewards' Safe Water Social Ventures" from the dropdown menu (see illustration below).
Join us as we watch inspiring short films from other organizations around the globe that are positively impacting people and our planet!
