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. In Ethiopia, only 49.6% of Ethiopians have access to basic water supply coverage.
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!
