Description
Rotary Club to combat global water crisis
Walk4Water scheduled for May 17
CEDARBURG, WI --- Students from Cedarburg and Grafton high schools in the Global Scholars program are hosting a 4-mile walk on Saturday, May 17, to raise awareness for the global water crisis. Students are hoping to collect at least $7,500 in donations to fund a new well in a developing country with the support of the Rotary Club of Cedarburg-Grafton, which is working with students to help them reach their goals.
Walk4Water is a fundraising program hosted by Healing Hands International to support its water ministry. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. Additionally, 842,000 die annually from water-related illnesses.
The walk will begin at 9 a.m. at Cedarburg High School and include 2 loops of 2 miles each, which is the distance that people in developing countries walk on average daily to gather water for their families and communities. There will be several water stations along the route, sponsored by local businesses and organizations.
