Join The Big Water Walk for schools
Unite your school community and take on The Big Water Walk – together! Walk 6km (or a goal of your choice) around the oval, local park or a circuit around your school.
Support people in Africa, Asia and the Pacific who have to walk long distances to collect clean water every day. Your walk, and every dollar you raise, will create lasting change and help empower people to lift themselves out of poverty.
