World Vision Global 6K for Water
Can you imagine trying to stay healthy in this midst of the COVID-19 pandemic without having access to clean water to wash your hands? World Vision is taking the pandemic head-on in the USA by providing personal protective equipment to healthcare workers, sending out cleaning supplies, and distributing food packs that feed a family for a week. Across the globe, World Vision is the places where the local people are most vulnerable to the spread of disease, equipping our brothers and sisters with the knowledge of sanitation and personal hygiene skills they need to stay safe and healthy while the virus rages around them.
You can help fight poverty and this pandemic at the same time by joining the Global 6K for Water. This started as a virtual event several years ago, and it is once again a virtual event in 2020. The Global 6K is great because you can do it anywhere! Walk or run the distance, by yourself or with your family, and be part of this global movement to change lives. Whether you join from the treadmill or your favorite trail, the neighborhood or the track… when you and thousands of others around the world walk, jog, or stroller-run your way to 6K on May 16, you’ll bring life-changing clean water to those who need it most.
Even when you can’t gather in groups, you can make a global impact! With World Vision’s Global 6K, you can join thousands virtually, walking or running from your own space to bring clean water to children in need. Now more than ever, clean water is essential to protect vulnerable children and families. Will you join us?
