Columbia's Walk for Water charity walk is this Saturday morning

Irmo, SC 05/15/2025 - Columbia Walk for Water is hosting its 1st Annual Walk for Water on May 17 to raise awareness about the global water crisis and the work of Water Mission. Today, this crisis leaves more than 2 billion people around the world without access to clean, safe water.

In many countries, women and children walk more than three miles each day to retrieve water for their families that is often unsafe to drink. By joining the Walk for Water, participants will help Water Mission provide accessible, lifesaving safe water solutions for communities in need around the world. This year, walkers will gather at Saluda Shoals Park. Online registration is now open at walkforwater.com/columbia where participants can sign up individually, join an existing team, or start their own walk team.
