This pledge to walk 1, 2 or 4km every day to give people the power to change their own lives, forever. Join us and walk for the millions of women and children who walk distances like this every day to get the water they need to survive.

Story

For the month of March, I'm going to walk at least 2km every day to support those who still don't have access to clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene. 

Many people, mostly young women and girls, walk at least this distance every day to collect water for their households. Along the way they face many dangers, often falling victim to assault by predators who know these routes all too well. More still are denied an education because days are spent journeying to and from water points and sanitation facilities. All this for water that's often not even safe for consumption. 

WaterAid is determined to make clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene normal (and accessible!) for everyone, everywhere within a generation. Only by tackling these three essentials in ways that last can people change their lives for good. 

Join me by walking for water in March — create a fundraising page of your own or consider making a donation through my site. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
