Six kilometres - the average distance women and children walk each day to retrieve water. Can you imagine?! SIX KILOMETRES! And it may not even be safe to drink. In fact, in most cases, it's not.
This morning I ran this distance with two of my colleagues in support of the Live Earth Run for Water. In the upcoming hours, countries all over the world will join Cairo in this event, raising money for clean water around the world. Visit the link below for a list of participating cities:
