Join the walk that brings life-saving water
Join team World Vision and take on our Global 6K for water this August!
Whether you choose to walk, run, jog or even skate your way to 6K, you and many others will help make a difference in communities who do not have access to clean water, which is essential to vulnerable children and families.
Did you know? 6K is the average distance that children, often girls, walk every single day to fetch water for their community.
Follow these quick and easy steps so you and your team can get geared up to take on your G6K challenge.

It has everything you need to get you started
Get training
A great opportunity to improve your fitness for a good cause.
Invite friends, neighbours, or your church group along. It's a great way to come together with others in your community, and you'll have even more of an impact. Get in touch for resources to add some fun to your event, or for you to learn and reflect on the changes you’re making.
Why not challenge yourself and your friends? Whether you want to beat your running time record, walk 1K every day for 6 days, or walk 6K in an orange outfit, the challenge is yours! Make it big, make it fun, make it meaningful. The more daring, the more donations you’ll raise for the vulnerable children who desperately need clean water.
It can be fun and rewarding for the whole family, and a great way to have some outdoor fun together whilst raising money for a great cause. Ask us to get fun activities to challenge and motivate the younger ones. Take the opportunity to explore a new area or reward yourself afterwards at your favourite pub.
It's a great chance to come together as a community, church group or family. You can share and celebrate your achievement together, knowing you've helped children worldwide.
You can walk, run or choose whoever you like, to clock up 6k either in one day or challenge yourself to clock 6k everyday for the month of August as part of World Water Week.
Six kilometres (or 3.7 miles) is the average distance a person - mostly girls - in developing countries must walk to find water that is often unsafe to drink. By participating in this event, you are walking/running that distance so they won’t have to.
Nearly 1,000 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhoea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. But we believe the global water and sanitation crisis can be solved within our lifetimes. That’s why we’re focused on providing clean water and sanitation to every man, woman, and child in every community we work in, including the most vulnerable populations in the hardest-to-reach places.
Yes! Each member will need to sign up individually and send email to fundraising@worldvision.org.uk with the name of all team members (specifying who is the team captain) and t-shirt size.
World Vision is the largest non-governmental provider of clean water in the world and our water projects run in harmony with our other key areas of development: health, education, food, and economic development. This approach to clean water tackles the root causes of poverty, enabling children to experience the fullness of life.
Your donations will help us bring clean water to children and their communities living in some of the toughest places on earth. You will help to bring a future full of hope to children around the world. And here is a taste of how your donations help, bringing water to where it is needed most.
You can pay in your fundraising by setting up a JustGiving fundraising page, or by calling our Supporter Care Team on 01908 841010.
