Calgary Run for Water

YOU made this happen! Because of your generosity, we raised $120,000 throughout December and 12 Days of Giving!

This brings a new era for tens of thousands of people in some of the most marginalized communities in our world. We can’t thank you enough for partnering with these communities to invest in their future.

We’d love to hear what days in our 12 Days of Giving you supported. Share in the comments below 👇🏽

On the eighth day of giving, give sports equipment ⚽️🏐🥏

Volleyballs, soccer balls, and jump ropes are hot commodities in our partner communities. We’ve lost count how many times we were challenged to either a volleyball or a running race when we visit our partners! When we fund a school building, we make sure there is a playground built as well.

Give the gift of PLAY today by donating $15. Click runforwater.ca/12daysofgiving to donate.

On the sixth day of giving, give business education training. Once communities have access to clean water, this frees up time for women who no longer have to walk hours for water daily. They now have time to start businesses and perform income-generating activities. 💸

A big part of our work with rural communities is doing capacity building and knowledge transfer. With the right tools and training provided by our Ethiopian experts, women have the opportunity for economic independence.

Give skills today on Day 6. Donate $20 by visiting runforwater.ca/12daysofgiving.
