Global 6k for Water Every step you take is one they won’t have to ™ . May 16, 2020 May 16, 2020 The Global 6K for Water is a virtual event! It can be done by anyone, anywhere — alone or in families. When you walk or run 6K from your own home or neighborhood, you’ll provide clean water to one person in need. SIGN UP FOR THE 6K Clean water is essential to hygiene, and handwashing is critical in stopping the spread of COVID-19. Before clean water Ireen, age 8, Malawi - waiting for clean water Ireen walks around 6K a day to collect dirty water. She often misses school because of diarrhea from unsafe water. When she can go to school, she arrives without having washed. After clean water Cheru, age 6, Kenya - got clean water in 2019 Cheru has clean water just a few steps away from her home. She is healthier and able to attend school consistently. Cheru enjoys being clean and learning about hygiene and health. Go with us even further World Vision is actively scaling up prevention and relief interventions across the globe. We are supporting efforts of our local partners by sharing stay-healthy messaging, helping set up public hand-washing stations, and distributing soap, sanitizer, and masks where appropriate. These preventative measures have always been an important part of our child sponsorship program, because in places of extreme poverty, improving health, water, sanitation , and hygiene saves lives – and now, more than ever. Join us in these efforts by sponsoring a child today. SPONSOR A CHILD Hi, we’re World Vision.
