SHS Charity: Water Walk-A-Thon

We would very much appreciate your help in bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations by participating in our 1^st Annual SHS Walk for Water on Saturday, May 22^nd  at 11:00 a.m. (see details below).

Startling statistics about the global water crisis:

• 1 out of every 8 people does not have access to clean drinking water (that's almost a billion people)!

• Millions of women and children walk over 3 miles a day to collect water.  And sadly, the only water they usually can obtain is taken from contaminated sources.

• Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease in the world.

• Clean water is readily available underground…it just needs to be properly collected and managed.

Scarsdale High School Charity Water Club helps raise money to build wells through the New York based non-profit organization, charity:water.    Please click this link to learn more:  www.charitywater.org.

Please join us when we walk as a community on a 3-mile journey, symbolizing the walk so many women and children must take each day to get water.
