CSRA Walk for Water exists to support Charleston, SC-based Water Mission, a nonprofit Christian engineering ministry providing sustainable, safe water solutions to people in developing countries and disaster areas.

 

The CSRA is uniting to bring safe water to hundreds of men, women, and children worldwide. Local schools, churches, businesses, and individuals are putting their feet into action by raising awareness, raising money, and walking for water. Every day, millions of women and children in developing countries walk nearly 4 miles to retrieve water for their family’s daily needs. In most cases, even after walking for miles and miles, the water they have to drink is contaminated. Our walk will simulate this trek to raise awareness of the global water crisis here in our community. Each participant will start the walk with an empty bucket. About halfway through, they will fill that bucket with water and complete the remainder of the course. We hope that all participants end the walk with a better understanding of the daily challenges people around the world face in search of something that we often take for granted – water. The CSRA Walk for Water 2022 will bring together teams of participants from both sides of the Savannah River and all walks of life as we boldly battle the global water crisis, which affects 2.1 billion people around the world. Together, we can make a real difference by bringing safe water to people in need.
