Walk for Water
What activity could be more connected to the issues of the global water crisis?
Every day, women and children walk miles, multiple times daily to collect water- often contaminated water- for their families. Girls miss countless hours of school due to the hours spent walking. Girls also tend to stop attending school upon reaching puberty if there is not an adequate latrine available at school. Help H2O for Life change that statistic, while "providing service" on Global Youth Service Day. Take the opportunity to feel what it is like to walk 3 miles carrying water! Join the over 1 million youth engaged in service on Earth Day week-end. (April 20-22)
H2O for Life has materials available that can help you organize your walk. We have a walk guide, walk posters, pledge sheets and more so that you don't have to recreate these resources. We are also available to talk with you if you need further information! Now is the time to begin raising awareness in your school and community about the water crisis and service on GYSD. (register your project with ysa.org and be counted!)
