Wichita Clean Water 5K

Description

The Clean Water 5K has been running for nine years, funding a total of 56 borehole wells in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Kenya, DR Congo, Benin, Ivory Coast, and more—each one bringing clean water to thousands of people every day. This water is life. We use this precious resource many times each day without thought or effort. Yet many people around the world cannot enjoy this luxury because they do not have easy access to water and possibly no access to clean water. Many women and children around the globe spend hours each day in search of water; their lives revolve around this task. Often the water they collect is contaminated and causes diarrhea, which is the leading cause of illness and death around the world. Many organizations are working to eradicate this problem by building safe wells in communities one village at a time. Access to clean water reduces illness and death, increases school attendance, builds gender equality, diminishes scarcity conflicts and improves impoverished communities. Yes, water is life.
