Here in America, we take clean water for granted. Can you imagine the time wasted by women and girls fetching water from a great distance, carried by hand or head, just to bring contaminated water home to drink? 200 million hours a day are spent on water collection by women and girls just in sub-Saharan Africa. What else could they be doing with that time? Growing a garden? Starting a business? Going to school? Teaching a class? Creating art? Why not join World Vision’s Global 6K for water and help people access clean water so they can lift themselves out of extreme poverty.
Walk, run, or roll twice around Audubon Park (about 3.7 miles)
