Hey Walking for Water!👋 Today is national endangered species day and it’s so important to raise awareness today about this cause. Many endangered species keep ecosystems alive and healthy and these ecosystems help provide many African communities with clean water. Keeping our Earth healthy and the organisms that inhabit it healthy has so many positive effects🌎💦

HIMA’S CALL TO ACTION!. Take a few minutes to hear from one of our amazing W4W members @hima.sineni5 . Listen to her words of encouragement and call to action on the humanitarian crisis happening in India. We send our hearts out to India!
We are together. Walking for Water had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Maasai community and project. The Maasai have lived peacefully for thousands of years and coexisted in harmony with wildlife. However, many Maasai are now being evicted from their land in the name of conservation efforts. As a result of being separated from their land, the Maasai remain with only the driest and least fertile areas, and without access to water, they are having difficulty surviving. Join us in helping the lives of women, children, families. ❤️ #walkingforwater #sobonfu #h20teenjustice
The East Coast is so excited to share the watering cans and planter bins that have been primed and painted! Stay tuned for more information regarding these beautiful cans/bins as they will be entered as auction prizes for our virtual walk as we get closer to the date!

Happy Earth Day🤍🌎 Today is a wonderful day to reflect on the beauties that our home provides us with and the effects that we as humans have on our Earth as well. It is beyond important to take care of our beloved home and to count our blessings to have such prominent access to clean, running water. Everyday should be the day to do these things.

VIDEO FROM TWO NEW WELLS
We have video of two of our newer wells that were placed in Southern India for two villages whose community is part of the untouchable caste. These wonderful communities are vital and we trust these new wells will be with them for a long time.
We are deeply grateful for our ongoing partnership with the Phen-Dey Foundation. Our hope is for many more wells in the future.
