Global 6 kilometre for water in World Vision Kenya

Thursday, March 24, 2016

 

This is a virtual race, meaning there is no one venue to participate in, rather, different locations in Kenya and also different parts of the world. World Vision Kenya will hold the event in 12 Area Development Programs (ADPs) and at the Nairobi office involving WV staff, including members of the community.

 

Other World Vision support offices participating in the walk and run include US, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Canada. They have been mobilising supporters and donors for 6K race to enhance water provision initiatives. 

 

World Vision Global 6K race for Water, is an initiative by Team World Vision United States of America (WVUS) to mobilise  resources as well as advocate on water issues. This advocacy and fundraising initiative unites World Vision offices and partners around the World Water Day Celebration in the month of March.

 

6 kilometers (6K) is the average distance that Africans walk in search for water
