Walk for Water 5k

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.

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. Each journey robs a girl of her education, her safety, and her childhood. For far too many, these walks end in tragedy—not just exhaustion. 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. In Ethiopia, only 49.6% of Ethiopians have access to basic water supply coverage. 

We walk not just for awareness—but for action.

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.

We’re asking each participant to go further by asking friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation to the cause, or join their team to fundraise or walk alongside them!

Our goal? To raise $250,000—funding 2 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 4 villages in Ethiopia. This will provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water for up to 63,000 people—that’s 12,600 families who will no longer have to send their daughters into danger just to survive another day.

Your steps can change a life. Your walk can build a well.
Register today. Walk their path. Bring water home.
