Why Brissie Sphere is taking part in Walk for Water
Water is at the heart of much of our work at Sphere Infrastructure Partners. We see how essential reliable and sustainable water infrastructure is to healthy communities, yet how easy it can be to take clean water for granted. That’s why the Sphere team is taking part in WaterAid’s Walk for Water this October.
For many, collecting water means travelling long distances every day. We’ll be walking, running and riding for the week of the 19th of October to raise funds and awareness for the millions of people around the world who still don’t have clean water close to home. It’s a cause that strongly connects with our work and our belief that access to safe, reliable water is fundamental to thriving communities.
Our Brissie team would appreciate your support in reaching our team's goal of raising $2,000.
Every donation helps WaterAid bring clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to communities around the world.
Walk for Water
696 million people in the world – almost one in ten – do not have clean water close to home. Every day, women and children walk long distances to collect and carry water for their families.
Girls and boys often begin collecting water as children and girls continue to collect and carry water throughout their lives. Many girls spend hours each day collecting water, which can cause them to miss time at school.
And not only that, sometimes the water they are forced to collect is dirty, carrying water borne diseases and leading to sickness in their community.
The walk for water is on the week of the 19th of October 2026.
For just $50, WaterAid could buy water system tools to provide a rural community with clean water.
