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.
MASKS, TSHIRTS AND WONDERFUL TEEN ARTWORK POSTCARDS

T-minus 1 week until our Chick-Fil-A spirit night! We hope everyone is excited!
Today let’s reflect on how we as individuals can help with water scarcity and climate change right now. It is beyond important that we all do our part and take action immediately to help heal our Earth and the people around us🤍🌎

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!

Hey Walking for Water! If you have time, take a minute to read @hailey.greco ‘s article about w4w posted in her neighborhood magazine! Thanks for the opportunity to get the word out @onthebanks_leesburg ! We’re so grateful to have been featured!
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.

We walk. We walk for the less fortunate all over the world with water insecurities. We help raise money to give them access to that basic necessity. We build wells and give them hope for a better, brighter future full of education and prosperity.

With over 844 million people lacking in water globally, families and communities are enclosed in poverty for generations. This causes children to drop out of school and parents to struggle making a living. The worst affected are women and children. The children are more susceptible to disease from dirty water and women often bear the burden of carrying water to their families for a combined estimate of 200 million hours a day.
Walking for Water works to change these horrific numbers by building wells and providing education to those in need.
Rewrite the facts and change the world with us!

It only takes one person who is willing to dip their feet in the water to create a rippling reaction. For us that person was a high school girl attending Heritage High School in Virginia who asked “if they walk for water why can’t we?” We are currently working extremely hard on making this years walk safe, as well as unique , so please stay tuned on how you can help us make this year one of our best 🤍
In the midst of a pandemic it is important to remember that our planet had experienced plenty before we showed up. Just like the earth, people were experiencing struggle before this pandemic and therefore it is important to understand that most people can’t focus on trying to remain safe because they need to walk for hours for water. Walking for water works hard to spread awareness through our media to educate people about how important water is. Please take time out of your day to visit our website and educate yourself on how you can help thousands of people with a simple click 🙂
Our annual walks are a great way to get involved with the community and others across the country to spread positivity and help change the world.
Although we will miss seeing everyone in-person, this years walk will be one to remember so save the date! (June 19th-20th)

VIRTUAL WALK 2020 REPLAY
THIS YEAR WE VENTURED INTO OUR FIRST VIRTUAL WALK AND HAD A GREAT TIME. WE ARE EXCITED TO EXPLORE WAYS TO EXPAND AND FIND OTHER WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR KIDS AND COMMUNITY. WE ARE LEAVING UP THE RECORDING OF THE EVENT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT.
AS A SIDE NOTE – THE FIRST 15 MINUTES IS JUST A LEAD INTO THE EVENT. BUT WE KEPT IT IN THE REPLAY BECAUSE IN THE BACKGROUND IS A RECORDING WE MADE IN 2006 IN SOBONFU’S VILLAGE IN BURKINA FASO.
