This summer, we are running a fundraising challenge event called Step4Water, so kids don't have to, supporting us to raise funds to build six wells in rural villages in Zambia in 2023. These wells will provide safe and accessible sources of drinking water, transforming the lives of hundreds of families, particularly children, who currently endure daily walks of up to 4 hours to reach often contaminated water sources.
Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet for rural communities, it remains an arduous and dangerous challenge. Yet, with support, we can make a significant impact and alleviate their suffering. Our goal for this year's fundraising campaign is to raise a total of $27,000, which will cover the costs of constructing six essential wells, each changing the lives of hundreds of people.
We are inviting people to challenge themselves to participate in a 5K or 10K run, in any place, and at any time between Saturday August 26th and Sunday September 30th. Participants will receive participation kits in the mail including an official t-shirt, completer medal, wristband and vouchers, and their name will go on the signage of a well built in rural Zambia. Together, we can ensure that children in these rural villages no longer have to endure the hardships and health risks associated with limited access to clean water.
