Between New Year's Day and World Water Day (22 March) 2025, Dalen, Benson, Aubrynne, Emri, and Isaac are walking a combined 256 kilometers for WaterAid to bring safe water to people who need it so their kids can go to school. Since 1981, WaterAid has reached 28.5 million people with clean water and 29 million with decent toilets. A growing team is joining us to extend that outreach even further; and we need you, too.

Three simple ways to help:

1. DONATE. Can you pledge a dollar, dime, nickel, or penny for every kilometer I walk? Whether you can spare $2.50 or $250, your donation brings safe water to people who need it, keeping kids in school.

2. WALK. Set your own walking goal and invite sponsors to support you. Click the "Team: Hardy Homeschool Co-Op" link below the photo on this page, followed by the "Join Team" link on the Team Page that appears. Personalize your own JustGiving page, and share it with your friends, family, and social media followers.

3. CELEBRATE. Join us at Victoria Sports Park in Raymond, Alberta on World Water Day, Saturday, 22 March 2025, from 11AM to 1PM for a community walk for water. We'll walk our final kilometers, collect our last donations, and celebrate the water access and consequent opportunities we're expanding.

WaterAid's Mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most marginalized people by improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. With all three people can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men get to earn a living, whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal, and it should be. Your support makes a lasting difference; together, we will change millions of lives for the better – and change normal.
