💧 Purpose of the Event

• Support Clean Water: For the ninth year in a row your entire registration fee goes toward building borehole wells and providing clean water education to villages in Africa.
• Impact Achieved: After 8 years, we now have 41 Wichita borehole wells in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Kenya, DR Congo & Ivory Coast--each one bringing abundant clean water to thousands of people every day.
• Global Challenge: Many people around the world don’t enjoy the luxury of easy access to water and possibly no access to clean water. Many women and children around the globe spend hours each day in search of water.
• Health Benefits: Access to clean water reduces illness and death, increases school attendance, builds gender equality, diminishes scarcity conflicts and improves impoverished communities.

🌍 Community Impact

• Partnership: Wichita Clean Water 5K partners with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in Africa to bring life to villages through the construction of safe wells and clean water education.
• Contaminated Sources: Many villages try to survive by fetching water from irrigation dams that are not safe, leading to health issues.
• Health Risks: Community members often suffer from diarrhea and other waterborne diseases due to contaminated water sources.
• Join the Cause: Your race entry will help bring more borehole wells and water education to even more villages.
