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)

The best gift ever during this Holiday season, the gift of water to two villages in India. ❤️❤️One is in the village of Guddenahalli in Mysore district Karnataka state India and the other is in the village of Alanahalli village in Priyapatna taluk Mysore district Karnataka state South India.
One is a Tibetian Refugee camp and the other is a village that has Muslim's, Christian's and Hindu's all living together. It is such a wonderful project that empowers us to be of service and we are so honored to manifest dream of bringing water to indigenous villages through our Walking for Water Club and to have the support of Phen Dey Foundation who helps us locate where it is needed in India and the overseeing of it happening. We are full of love and gratitude. Help us continue to make a difference and bring water which is so essential always but in particularly now during a Pandemic. We just can't imagine how much harsher it is for those who have to walk to get water under any circumstances but even more so now. Once again, with your donations we were able to input two wells just in time for the holiday season. CONTINUE THE DONATIONS @ wisdomspring.org (link in bio) ❤️❤️
In hard times like these it’s important that we take the time to be grateful for the home, safety and water that we able acquire with such ease. We hope that everyone is healthy and staying safe.

As of 2018 about 263 million children and youth are out of school worldwide which means in Sub-Saharan Africa 1 in every 3 children do not receive an education. This needs to change. So far we have supported 4,174 students in Sub-Saharan Africa and we want to keep the number growing. Go to the link in our bio to educate a child for the holidays.

In Kenya, tragically many families deny or ignore the existence of the virus. This is because many family’s must work tirelessly every day to provide food and water for their families, and if they are forced into quarantine they will starve to death. This is why must keep fighting for places like Kenya to have what we take for granted. To us it’s an option to them it is a necessity. Make sure to check out the link in our bio to help educate a child for the holidays 🤍 #walkingforwater #h20teenjustice #wisdomspring #sobonfu

VIRTUAL WALK 2020
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. THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR DAYS – MUSIC AND SINGING AND TALKING. IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN PRETEND YOU ARE THERE TOO! A REMINDER OF THE COMMUNITY THAT INSPIRED ALL OF THIS!
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
