We Can End the Walk for Water
The 6k of the World Water Classic represents the average distance women and girls in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa walk each day to collect water for their families.
By joining the World Water Classic, you are helping Water For People change that reality and support safe water and sanitation services for communities around the world.
