Carrying 10 lt of water
for totally 6 km
to build water wells
What is Walk4Water
To Develop Empathy
Walk4Water is an annual event organised by Time to Help to raise awareness of water scarcity. On average, women and girls in developing countries walk 6 kilometres (approximately 3.5 miles) a day, carrying 20 litres (about 42 pounds/20 kgs) of water. It is common for this journey to take more than 15 hours a week in some areas.
We will each challenge ourselves to carry 10 litres of water for 6 km to build empathy with those struggling to access clean d and safe water. We also want to raise funds to build new water wells. By building these wells we will provide easy access to clean and safe water to thousands of vulnerable people.
We will walk to make their journey shorter.
When and Where
The route will be approximately 5.6 km in Leeds City Centre. The meeting point is Parkinson Court (Parkinson Building steps), and the endpoint is Leeds Art Gallery.
Starting from Parkinson Court, we will go straight go Leeds Art Gallery and continue down to the Headrow. From there, we will go down Vicar Lane, turning on George Street and rejoining York Street through the markets. Finally we will follow Boar Lane, turn onto Park Row and reach the Art Gallery again. We will do the loop through the City Centre 2 more times to complete the 5.6km and finish at the Art Gallery. Click the link to access the event route on Google Maps.
