Dallas Area Water Walk (Red Oak, TX)

Every day, thousands of sub-Saharan Africans must hike several miles just for a drink of water. The average distance that women and children in developing countries walk to collect water per day is 4 miles. The average weight that they carry on their head is approximately 44 lbs. Over 40 billion work hours are lost every year in Africa to the need of fetching clean drinking water.

In order to better understand their plight, we have planned a water walk in which we will walk 1 mile to a water source and 1 mile back with our water jugs filled. This is just a small example of what they experience every single day.
