GF Piping Systems will be hosting Walk for Water events in TWO locations this year! Proceeds from the event will be donated to Water Mission, a charitable organization whose goal is that everyone around the world should have clean, safe water.
Each year, 842,000 people die because they do not have access to clean water. That's 2,300 people each day! Water Mission is a non-profit organization that provides filtration systems to communities in need of clean water around the world. So far, Water Mission has provided 7 million people with clean water, but there are still many more in need.
Why do we walk?
GF Piping Systems, with your support, would like to help. One filtration unit can provide clean water for as many as 5,000 people. Our goal is to raise enough money to supply as many of these units as possible. In many parts of the world, women and children spend 2-3 hours a day walking miles to collect water. Much of the time this water is not safe to drink. In show of solidarity and to raise awareness, we will walk 2.5 miles carrying some water as others do every day.
