Event summary
Join us for the inspiring Walk for Water 5K Charity Fundraiser on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in the beautiful Griffith Park, Los Angeles. This event is more than just a walk; it's an opportunity to step into the reality faced by millions of women and girls in Africa who trek long distances each day to collect clean water. Participants will walk a 5K route along the scenic Main Trail, symbolizing the average distance of 7,000 steps that many must take daily under challenging conditions.
By joining us, you’ll not only raise awareness about the water crisis but also actively contribute to a solution. Our goal is to raise $250,000 to fund the construction of deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in Ethiopia, providing sustainable access to clean drinking water for up to 63,000 people. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of families who rely on these resources for survival. Bring your friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor your steps or walk alongside you, and help us change lives one step at a time. Register today and be part of a movement that truly makes an impact!

Organiser's Description
Walk Their Journey. Change Their Future.
Join us for a powerful and transformative experience at the Walk for Water 5K Charity Fundraiser, co-hosted by Pathway To Tomorrow and Drop of Water. This isnt just a walkits a step into the daily reality that millions of women and girls in Africa face just to access something as basic as water.
Every day, women and girls spend 200 million hours hauling unclean water, often walking miles under a burning sun, along dangerous paths, carrying heavy containers. Each journey robs a girl of her education, her safety, and her childhood. For far too many, these walks end in tragedynot just exhaustion. Every two minutes, a child dies from a water-borne disease, and 1.5 million children under five die annually in Africa from diarrhea caused by unsafe water.
We walk not just for awarenessbut for action.
This 5K fundraiser challenges participants to take 7,000 steps, representing the average distance many walk each day to collect water. As you walk, youll carry not just stepsbut stories. Stories of resilience, hardship, and hope. You'll walk in solidarity with those who cant just turn on a tap.
Were asking each participant to go further by asking friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation to the cause, or join their team to fundraise or walk alongside them!
Our goal? To raise $250,000funding 12 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 4 villages in Ethiopia. This will provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water to 28,00063,000 peoplethats up to 12,600 families who will no longer have to send their daughters into danger just to survive another day.
