🤔What to Expect
Every step you take is one they won’t have to.
The World Vision 6K Walk for Water is a global movement to bring clean water to children and families in need. Six kilometers is the average distance people—often children—walk every day to collect water in developing countries.

By participating, you’ll walk (or run) that same distance, representing the journey of those who do it daily. Your registration fee provides lasting clean water solutions, and each participant walks with the name and photo of a child receiving help through World Vision.

💡Event Highlights 💡
  • Experience the symbolic 6K distance that children often walk to access water.
  • Learn more about the global water crisis and how you can make a difference.
  • Celebrate the impact your steps will have in changing lives.

What to Bring
  • Comfortable walking shoes 👟
  • Reusable water bottle 💧
  • Positive energy and community spirit! ⚡️

🌟 Our Global Impact
Every registration helps provide clean water to one person for life—transforming health, education, and opportunity for communities worldwide.
