Easy to get, clean tap water and walking just for fun aren’t luxuries that we all enjoy. Many people around the world have to walk for 5km or more just to get some water.
Water Run is a charity that is encouraging those of us in the Western world to Walk The Walk and donate money to help them build 30 wells in Sub-Saharan Africa, costing £10,000 altogether. These wells will dramatically improve the lives of those nearby. Cleaner, healthier and so, so much closer, these wells will be a lifeline to the villagers.
With all that holiday weight hidden under our woolly jumpers, walking to work, the pub, the shops or to our mates house is the perfect way to burn off those mince pies and start the year in good health. And the money that you save on public transport, petrol and parking can all be donated to Water Run. If walking just really isn’t your thing you can still donate and stay sat on the sofa. Log your walks and donate your cash here.
So far they have raised enough for 2 wells, so they need all the help and pavement pounding they can get. Next time you reach for your car keys or bus pass, just stop and think. Maybe you could walk this journey and give those few quid to Water Run.
