On May 31, I will be walking in a 5K walk for water to help raise awareness and money to save lives because every day 5,000 children die from preventable water-related illnesses.
At this walk, I'll be sharing a 5 gallon load of water with my team but in many countries, girls carry this much water by themselves EVERY single day and can't even go to school (and the water they are walking to fetch is dirty!)
I am excited to be supporting the work of Water 1st. In the next few years, I plan to go to Ethiopia with my mom (and Water 1st).
I'm 9 years old and in 4th grade at Greenwood Elementary in Seattle.
$50 will provide safe water for a child for the rest of her life!
Many thanks for your support!
