Coast to Coast: Walk For Water 

One in 10 people lack access to clean water. Water is essential for drinking, sanitation and hygiene, and food production. Some areas in the world rely entirely on water for their livelihoods. 

Women and young girls are disproportionately affected by the water crisis as they often carry the burden of collecting water for their families. This leaves little time for them to prioritize work and education, further forcing them into the cycle of poverty. To add, nearly 1 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene related diseases. Children are the most susceptible, affecting their ability to go to school. 

Safe water can mean the difference between life and death. By participating in our challenge and fundraising, you contribute to our vision in a world free of poverty. Your fundraising efforts will help provide access to clean water, which is a stepping-stone in achieving this vision.

Join us on this challenge and support our water programs.
