Walk 4 Water will support Hope 2 Others (https://hope2othersfilter.org) which is a groundbreaking effort that embodies empowerment, hope and transformation. At the heart of H2O is our commitment to providing families with access to clean water through our innovative water filters.
Did you know that women spend 200 MILLION hours a day walking for water? Start your Walk 4 Water on February 22nd and culminate your efforts on Friday, March 22nd which is World Water Day to help us provide Hope 2 Others Water Filters to some of the 780 million people who lack access to clean water. Our filters will be distributed in communities where we serve in Kenya.
Why We Believe in Hope Through Clean Water
We believe that clean water is not just a basic human right, it is a catalyst for change, empowering individuals to take control of their health and future. We seek to shift the focus from the daily struggle to gather dirty water to building hope-filled futures, where families can concentrate on their children’s education and the pursuit of healthier lives.
Track workouts anywhere & anytime and complete goal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.
What is the campaign registration fee?
Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.
The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.
How can I create my fundraising page?
Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.
If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.
How do I join a team on this campaign?

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
