The church’s announcement informed members that 6K is the average distance women and kids in the developing world walk for water. They added that water shortage is the number one preventable reason for death globally. The church also emphasized that clean water, sanitation, and hygiene are some factors to protect children and their families.

Why Water

According to the World Vision website, the said even could transform a life. Over 800 children under five die daily from diarrhea caused by polluted water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. Besides, they believed they could solve the global water and sanitation shortage within their lifetimes.

The said website also informed participants the $50 would proceed to those in need when they register for the Global 6K for water. They would be able to give clean water because each registration provides water to a kid.

The said organization posted that they reached one new individual with clean water. They reported that over 3.4 million individuals had received clean water in 2020. The World Vision has worked hard to give safe water and improved hygiene for the last 30 years.

Besides, the said organization is the biggest non-governmental provider of clean water globally, bringing sustainable water to new individuals.

Furthermore, they emphasized that $50 would give clean water to one individual through the said organization projects. The registration goes directly to their fund.

They informed runners that every 6K for Water participant equals clean water for another individual in a developing country. Kids 18 years and below can register half of the said fee.
