Some Facts to Know 

The events will share information about the global water crisis, and this year's theme around "Water Scarcity in Urban Centers".  There are 1.1 Billion with no access to clean water and nearly 2.5 Billion without access to decent toilets. Photos below show (Nassarawa State Nigeria) is typical domestic water sources for many African villages which obviously is very unsafe.

About 4,000 children die daily due to unsafe water and poor sanitary conditions & habits. Learn how you can get involved, create more awareness, and communicate with your political leaders / congress person to give their voice and financial support towards World Water Relief efforts and sustainable development in poorer nations.

Help us raise funds during the Walk for Water. When you walk 2 miles, many children and women saddled with fetching water in Africa will not need to walk miles any more because we'll be digging them new water wells in their villages.

Your Registration fee and donation will help us accomplish that challenge. So, bring a friend or family to join us for the 3-mile walk for water. 95 % of all donations collected would go towards building and rehabilitating wells in Nigeria.
