The Walk For Water is inspired by the 3-6 mile journey women and children make every day in “water stressed” countries. The time spent fetching water for their families prevents them from pursuing an education, maintaining their households or earning additional income.
“Walk for Water” is meant to draw attention to the world water crisis. The modest acts of many can make an extraordinary difference.
Follow an approximately 2.5 mile route from Love Park to World Café Live, then celebrate at the finish line with a performance by the Sekere Women’s Ensemble.
