Walk for Water

Last summer, you came together to support the right of every person to have safe, clean water. Thanks to your incredible efforts through the 2024 Walk for Water, more than 800 students and 30 staff at La Bonne Nouvelle School in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, now have reliable access to clean drinking water for the very first time.

After the incredible success of this fundraiser, we’re excited to announce that it’s happening again in 2025! This year’s walk will raise funds to bring clean water and sanitation to the village of Ziasso, Burkina Faso.

Ziasso it is marked by extreme poverty and a harsh, dry climate, with drought lasting nine months of the year. The village has one well, but during the dry season, it often runs dry. Even when water is available, it is not clean and poses serious health risks. As a result, women and girls will walk long distances to find water from rivers or shallow wells. These sources are frequently contaminated with bacteria and organic waste, spreading diseases like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery. With no proper toilets in the village, open defecation is common, further polluting water sources and threatening the health of the entire community.

By taking part in this year’s Walk for Water, you’ll help drill two boreholes and build five latrines and handwashing stations. Your support will provide safe, reliable water and improved sanitation in Ziasso.

100% of your gifts will go directly to the project, thanks to generous donors who pay all our overhead.
