Why do we Walk for Water?

Every day, some one billion people go without safe, clean drinking water. More than 2.6 billion people lack access to sanitation. Because they lack these vital resources, communities often plummet into a cycle of poverty that prevents them from attaining a better standard of living. Join us as we walk to raise awareness of the global water crisis and help quench the physical and spiritual thirst of our brothers and sisters around the world!

How can I participate?

Participate in the Walk for Water as an individual, or by forming or joining a team to walk in the event. Teams generally include 10-20 walkers, and can be recruited from youth and adult Sunday school classes, small groups, youth groups, or other mission and outreach groups within your church. We encourage each walker to set a personal fundraising goal of $100 or more, which can be done easily and securely using our online tools.
