Did you know that 6km is the average distance people walk for water in developing communities?
Come out on May 25th for the First Annual Niagara World Vision Global 6k for Water! Every step we take is one they won't have to.
Every day people walk an average of 6k for contaminated water, but we can help change that! Let’s join the movement Niagara and walk with thousands of other people across Canada who are taking action to help get clean water to those who need it. Every $50 raised provides lasting clean water for one person!
All funds from this event will be going to World Vision Water Projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
Register as an individual or set up a team and start training to run or walk 6K! Bring your friends, family, neighbours etc -- the more the merrier - WE WILL go farther together!
