Water Mission’s 15th Annual Walk for Water: Walk So Others Don’t Have To 

Posted January 12th, 2021 by Water Mission.

Today, you’ll likely use water countless times—to drink, cook, shower, brush your teeth, flush the toilet, and more—without worrying whether the water is safe. More than 2.2 billion people around the world lack access to clean, safe water. Every day, millions of women and children walk more than three miles to collect water that is often contaminated—exposing their families to dangerous waterborne diseases. As we enter into this new year, we invite you to join us to help more families around the globe receive access to clean, safe water. With the 15th Annual Walk for Water scheduled for March 20 in Charleston, we’re reminded that, even in this unprecedented season, we still have the opportunity to serve others. What will the Walk look like this year? While this year’s Walk may look a little different, the mission remains the same: Bringing awareness and raising funds to end the global water crisis. This year, walkers ... Read More

Students and Teachers in Tanzania Now with Access to Safe Water for Handwashing Amid COVID-19 

Posted December 7th, 2020 by Acadia Munari.

Life without water. A thought so unimaginable that when you realize communities lack access to clean, safe water for handwashing—even amid COVID-19—it makes you stop in your tracks. How can this be? A resource so readily available to so many is still out of reach for nearly one-third of the world’s population. It’s a statistic that Water Mission and so many other organizations are dedicated to ending, including our new partner Azimuth World Foundation. Water Mission’s Partnership with Azimuth World Foundation  Two students at Kiganamo Primary School wash their hands while using a handwashing station funded by Azimuth World Foundation. In March, our team embarked on a mission to ensure people around the world have access to handwashing supplies amid COVID-19. We recently completed the installation of 30 handwashing stations at 15 primary schools in Kasulu, Tanzania. ... Read More

Posted December 3rd, 2020 by Water Mission.

We have the joy of partnering with passionate people like Loulou Byars, a young college student from Charleston, South Carolina. Loulou’s heart for sharing safe water has grown over the years. We had the privilege of interviewing her about her passion for fighting the global water crisis.
