Walkathon for Water- Hilton Grand Vacations Club

The We Are Water Foundation and 26 resorts managed by Hilton Grand Vacations, in Europe and the UK announce Walkathon for Water, a charity initiative featuring 19 fundraising walks with the aim to raise funds for two projects designed to improve access to clean water and sanitation in Colombia and India.

In addition to directly impacting these communities, the initiative seeks to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving and using water responsibly. It does so by highlighting a powerful statistic: number six. On average, millions of children in Africa, Asia, and Latin America must walk six kilometers every day to fetch clean water.

All funds raised will be dedicated to two projects in India and Colombia, directly benefiting more than 3,100 vulnerable people. In India, the resources will be used to restore water sources for farmers affected by drought and promote sustainable agricultural practices in Dhone Mandal, Nandyal district. In Colombia, the support will help rehabilitate the portable water supply system and promote hygiene and sanitation habits in Los Moreneros community.
