TheWalk for Water

Join Team Z & the WALK FOR WATER. Saturday, April 17.

The Walk begins at 11am at Huizenga Park (the upper parking lot) in Zeeland.

OUR PART OF THE SOLUTION:
Members of Team Z will walk 2.4 miles and carry 10 liters of water. (children will carry 4 liters.)

WHY WALK?
in many countries, children - particularly girls - are responsible for the collection of water. Girls as young as 10 years old may take the main responsibility for drawing and carrying the family's water. On this day we will be walking in an effort to help the world's poorest people gain access to safe water, sanitation & hygiene education. Water, sanitation and hygiene are the essential foundations to all other forms of development and are vital for poverty reduction.
