We believe clean water is a human right.
That is why FDR High School students have pledged to walk 12 miles (approximately 25,000 steps) per week during the month of March signifying the average distance women and young girls facing water insecurity around the world must travel per week to access clean water. Students will be able to embody and empathize the daily hardships endured by those directly impacted by the global water crisis.
The funds students raise will be donated to the Maji Movement and will provide families access to biosand filters that will clean their water for the next 20+ years.
