“Jeg har det godt med at være med til at gøre en forskel.”

Mød en frivillig💧

“Jeg hedder Julie og jeg er 29 år gammel og bor i Aarhus. Jeg har været frivillig ved Walking for Water siden november 2020, og jeg er en del af SoMe gruppen, som står for at opdatere de sociale medier.

Til daglig er jeg event- og marketingkoordinatorelev, og har i forvejen en uddannelse som Serviceøkonom og administrativ assistent, så jeg føler, at jeg er landet på den rigtige hylde i forhold til, hvor jeg kan bidrage med mest til Walking for Water.

Ved siden af mit arbejde og Walking for Water er jeg i gang med at renovere lejlighed, så lige i øjeblikket går der meget tid med det. Ellers er træning, yoga, lange gåture og rejser øverst på listen over favoritbeskæftigelser.

Jeg har altid gerne villet lave frivilligt arbejde, men jeg har ikke fundet noget, hvor jeg følte, at jeg kunne gøre en forskel før nu. Walking for Water er en lille organisation, og derfor kan man virkelig se, at det man laver, gør en forskel. I en kæmpe organisation, kan den enkelte ikke på samme måde se det, som man kan i en lille. Det synes jeg er fedt. Og så kan man få rigtig meget indflydelse på organisationen og sine opgaver, og man bliver både set og hørt.

Jeg er ret sikker på, at jeg hørte om Walking for Water første gang, da Charlie tog afsted tilbage i 2015, men det var først da jeg mødte Charlie i efteråret 2020, at jeg engagerede mig i organisationen.”

Vil du også være frivillig? Vi leder altid efter nye frivillige til at drive og udvikle organisationen og til at skabe resultater og give værdigt trængende mennesker adgang til rent vand, så hold dig ikke tilbage - kontakt os på Facebook, Instagram eller via vores hjemmeside, hvor du også kan læse meget mere om, hvad det vil sige at være frivillig ved Walking for Water💧💙

💧Happy World Water day💧

#ValuingWater

Every year on march 22nd we celebrate #WorldWaterDay - and we have done so for the past 28 years.

On World Water Day we highlight the importance of fresh water 💦

Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are some of the topics that are on the agenda. These topics are also in line with the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6 ✌🏼

Would you drink this water? 💧

This is the situation in many African countries amongst others.

Seeing this and realizing that young girls had to walk for hours to get water was the starting point for Walking for Water.

———
In Sierra Leone we have already made 15 wells with our local partner Benson and we currently have money on the way to make four more near Freetown. You can adopt one of these for 3500 kroner (550 €).

Each well effectively provides clean water for 200-300 people.

Everyday young girls have to walk for hours to get clean drinking water. And water is essential for us to live, so this must be done. But because of this, school is second priority.

With your help, we can install wells in villages, ensuring clean drinking water to 200-300 people. And this way, young girls won’t have to skip school. We all know how important education is. Let’s make sure more people have access to clean drinking water AND education 💧🎓

W4W is looking for ambassadors to promote our cause 💧

2021 has just begun and we have many projects that we need sponsors for. We are doing everything we can to promote ourselves but we need a little help spreading the word.

That is why we would like to collaborate with people who are interested in helping others and who can reach a lot of people through social media.

The more followers you have, the better - this way more people will hear about W4W, but we would love to hear from anyone who would like to promote us and talk about what we do.

We will of course give you all the information, pictures etc that you need to create great content.

Contact us here on Instagram, and we will have a talk about what is possible.

We cannot wait to hear from you 💙

Current and finished projects

Until now W4W has successfully established projects in Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana and Nigeria, but 785 million people, about 10% of the world’s population, are still lacking access to even a basic water service. Though our main focus is UN’s sustainable development goal number 6, Clean Water and Sanitation for all, availability of clean water and sanitation is a prerequisite for the achievement of several other global goals, including SDG 1; No poverty, SDG 3; Good health and well being, SDG 4; Quality education, among others. W4W have several projects across West Africa yet to be funded, but with your help we are able to join hands to get help out where it is needed the most.

As a private person you can support our work directly by making a contribution on the donation page. Donations above $100 is rewarded with an autogenerated stamped and signed digital certificate of appreciation, that can be printed or shared online.

As a company you have the opportunity to become a sponsoring partner and benefit from a wide range of customised marketing campaigns on social and conventional media. Check the sponsor page to see some examples of sponsor packages, or write us a message on the contact form to receive a non-binding offer customised your brand and budget.

All funds donated to Walking for Water are safely kept on our account in Denmark until they are distributed uncut for the projects. Our own staff are all unpaid volunteers.
