Walk for Water

Will you Walk for Water so women like Harriet don't have to? 

Around the world, women and girls are being held back by having to walk 5km or more for water every day – denying them vital opportunities to earn, learn, and take control of their futures.

Show solidarity – and raise funds to help change this – by walking 155km, the equivalent of 5km a day, over the month.

Why Walk for Water?

703 million people in the world – almost 1 in 10 of us – still don't have clean water close to home.

Without clean water, whole communities are held back: children miss out on education, people struggle to earn a decent living, and families often fall ill.

For women and girls, the burden is even greater. Millions face difficult journeys, every single day, just to fetch the water they and their families need to survive.

The time and energy devoted to collecting water could be better spent in school, with family, or earning a living.

I really feel envious when I see that the other villages have water and we don't. I feel like the world belongs to them and we're just visitors. Harriet Jazimon, Noala, Malawi
