On November 5th, the Race 4 Water team walked 8 hours, (starting in Renfrew, ON) to raise money for Charity: water projects that brought clean water to communities around the world!
The first 4 hours were done with empty five gallon water jug… at the half way point the jug was filled with approximately 40lbs of water and carried for 4 more hours!
Charity: water can bring clean water to communities using BioSand Filters, Drilled Wells, and other solutions (based on specific needs in each community). They also install monitoring systems on all of their projects and train the community on how to service their water systems to ensure the community ALWAYS has clean water. And they do all this for only USD$40 per person!
100% of all donations go directly to Charity: water projects in the field…
NO administrative costs.
