Walk for Water 5k

👣 Walk Their Journey

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.

💧 A Global Crisis

• Time Lost: Every day, women and girls spend 200 million hours hauling unclean water, often walking miles under a burning sun.
• Health Impact: 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.
• Access Issues: Nearly half of Ethiopia's 125 million people lack access to clean water, according to UNICEF.
• Rural Challenges: In rural areas—where 80% of Ethiopians live—women and girls are most affected, walking long distances for unclean water.

🏃‍♂️ A Step Toward Change

This 5K fundraiser challenges participants to take 7,000 steps, representing the average distance many walk each day to collect water. As you walk, you’ll carry not just steps—but stories. Stories of resilience, hardship, and hope. You'll walk in solidarity with those who can’t just turn on a tap.

🤝 Be a Catalyst

• Sponsorship: We’re asking each participant to reach out to friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation to the cause.
• Team Participation: Join a team to fundraise or walk alongside others!
• Fundraising Goals: Our goal is to raise $250,000—funding 2 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 4 villages in Ethiopia.
• Impact: This will provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water for up to 63,000 people—that's 12,600 families.
