6K Daily Walk for Water

Six kilometers is the average distance women and kids in the developing world walk for water each day. This water is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases. By signing up to participate in the Southern Indiana 6K Walk/Run for Water, you will be bringing life-changing, clean water to communities in need through a World Vision Water project.

Support Those Living In Desperate Need

For every $50 raised by donors or participants of the Southern Indiana 6K for Water, World Vision will provide sustainable, clean water to a woman or child in the developing world. Our 2026 goal is to provide 400 individuals with hope for a brighter future by raising $20K. By signing up for the 6K, you'll bring one person sustainable, CLEAN water!
