Why We Walk

In America, drinking water is accessible, reliable, and safe to drink, and it’s easy to take this precious resource for granted. But this is not the case in sub-Saharan Africa, where millions live without an easily accessible source of water. As a result, many women and children are forced to walk 5+ kilometers every single day and carry heavy water cans just to support their families. Often, this water is sourced from lakes, ponds or holes in the ground – meaning it is unprotected from dangerous bacteria, putting communities at risk for deadly illnesses.

Building a water wells can solve this problem and change a community forever. But sadly, nearly half of all water wells in Africa are broken or abandoned at any given time.

That’s where Embrace Relief – and you – come in!

June 14th

On June 14, our 4th Annual H₂Ow Far Can You Walk 5K Walkathon will raise awareness and money to support Embrace Relief’s award-winning “Fountains of Hope” program, which to date has reconstructed nearly 200 abandoned water wells in Africa!

Through Fountains of Hope, we identify broken and abandoned water wells throughout Africa and repair them, restoring the flow of water and revitalizing entire communities. Our Fountains of Hope wells have brought health, happiness and hope to more than 170,000 people in Africa since 2021, and with your support, we can make an even greater impact!

So join us on June 14, and let’s walk together – so that our friends in Africa don’t have to!
