Walk for Water

Alahede Dura, 18, from Ghana Before her community installed a safe water point Alahede used to walk for five hours to collect unsafe water: "Before the pump was here, I fetched water from the riverside. It was dirty and made us feel sick. I have much more time now. We use that time to weave hats, and then we sell them at Bolgatanga market."

Tragically, their time and effort goes on collecting water that is often dirty and unsafe, leading to diseases such as diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera which cause the deaths of about 4,000 children every day.

Get your school or group involved and get sponsored to walk a certain distance - with every step you would be bringing clean water, sanitation and hygiene education closer to the world's poorest people. Millions of people are forced to walk for water every day – but your walk can help them!

Currently one in eight people worldwide do not have access to clean water, and 2.5 billion lack adequate sanitation. Although WaterAid has changed the lives of over 11 million people like Alahede, we want to do more so need your help!
