Walk for Water 5k

Event Overview

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 isn’t just a walk—it’s a step into the daily reality that millions of women and girls in Africa face just to access something as basic as water.

The Water Crisis

• Daily Struggle: 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.
• Child Mortality: 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.
• Ethiopia's Situation: Nearly half of its 125 million people lack access to clean water, according to UNICEF.
• Rural Impact: In rural areas where 80% of Ethiopians live, women and girls are forced to walk long distances to find unclean water, often resulting in missed education and safety hazards.

Call to Action

We walk not just for awareness—but for action.

• Step Challenge: This 5K fundraiser challenges participants to take 7,000 steps, representing the average distance many walk each day to collect water.
• Carry Stories: As you walk, you’ll carry not just steps—but stories of resilience, hardship, and hope.
• Fundraising Efforts: Participants are encouraged to ask friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation or to join their team to fundraise or walk alongside them!
• Funding Goal: Our goal is to raise $250,000 to fund 2 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 16 rural villages in Ethiopia.
