If Tanzania women do it every day, I can do it one day.

Welcome to our team page!

Welcome to our team page!

We are "stepping up" and taking part in Nurturing Minds' Walk for Water, a 3.7 mile walk, run or hike which will take place on Sunday, September 26th.  

Women and girls in Tanzania and across Africa walk an average of 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) a day to collect water for their families. By taking part in Nurturing Minds' Walk for Water, we are bringing awareness to the impact that time-consuming tasks like carrying water can have on girls attending school and completing their education.

Our team will be meeting at 8:45 at the Bethesda Outdoor Pool, where Hillandale Rd. and Little Falls Parkway meet, in the parking lot of the pool.  Departure at 9:00 am.  We'll walk on the Crescent Trail towards DC for a bit less than 2 miles and then return.  On a nice day, it will be a beautiful walk.  Hope you will come!

The funds we raise will help provide water for drinking, sanitation, and hygiene to over 275 students who attend the SEGA Girls' School in Morogoro, Tanzania.
