Every day in developing countries, women and children walk an average of 4 miles to collect water for their families. The dirty water they are bringing home is killing them at an alarming rate. On average, 842,000 people a year die from water-related illnesses. More children die every day from dirty water than from malaria, AIDS and measles combined.

You have a unique opportunity to do something about it. On March 9, Homewood will be hosting its first Walk 4 Water in conjunction with Healing Hands International and coinciding with the date of our Honduras Mission Trip Yard Sale.

Register to walk at the following link:

Our overall goal is $7500 (the cost of drilling one clean-water well).
• There is no minimum monetary amount to register; donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. You may even register to walk without making a donation online and bring a donation to the event on the day of the walk.
• You may register as an individual, as a team, or not register at all and just make a donation.
