The average distance to walk for water is four miles, if there is even any water to be found. This pattern is not sustainable and stunts the growth of families and individuals everywhere. This is why we Walk4Water.
Walk4Water is a fundraising program within Healing Hands International that helps support its Clean Water program. Starting in 2007, Walk4Water has hosted events in communities all over the nation at schools, churches, and organizations. The goal is to bring the life-saving gift of clean water to those who need it so desperately. Since 2001, we are grateful to share over 1,500 clean water wells have been drilled in over twenty countries. The impact is exponential — clean water leads to abundant life
