With a nod to the wise African proverb – “If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together” – we are asking you to get together and get behind a brand new fundraising challenge called the BIG Walk.

Every day people we work with in Kenya are walking long distances to collect water for drinking, cooking and cleaning.  They have no option but to collect from contaminated ponds, streams and rivers.  We are working to change that.  Since 2006, we have enabled 56,551 people to access clean water through rain water harvesting, spring protection and gravity schemes. With your help we can go farther and reach more families, villages and schools.

Join in from wherever you are in the world.  Take part as an individual, as a family, with friends or work colleagues, schools or clubs.  Walk, run, cycle, swim … it’s up to you.  Make it a one off event or make it a regular challenge throughout the summer months. You have until end of October!

Click to register for just 20 euro.  Your have an option to purchase a snood or a Kenyan wrist band to remind you of The BIG Walk.

Log the kilometres you cover on your iDonate fundraising page.  Then watch the virtual map – our team marker will move along the route from Cork to Kenya as collectively we reach 10,000km!
