2017 Charleston Walk for Water

Event Details

Inspired by the burden that millions of women and children bear every day walking an average of 3.5 miles to collect water that's not safe, we Walk for Water to raise awareness of the global water crisis and funds that save lives.

Whether you're part of Water Mission's flagship Charleston Walk, walking in a regional event, or wondering how to host a Walk in your own community, you have the ability to change lives this year. By giving up a Saturday morning and a little physical energy, you can provide more people around the world access to safe water. And we think that's just the beginning.

After opening ceremonies, every participant will take a bucket (provided at the event) and begin to walk a 3.5 mile route. Half way through the route, walkers fill their bucket with dirty water and carry it back to the park. The walk is symbolic of the walk that women and children make every single day to collect unsafe water.
