Abbotsford charity Run For Water has been hosting runs in the Fraser Valley since 2008 to raise awareness and funds for clean water projects in Ethiopia, a country where one-third of the population lacks access to clean water. Run For Water partners with the Ethiopian-run charity Imagine1day which builds clean water systems in the most rural villages of Ethiopia in order to allow young girls to be able to attend school. You can feel amazing about giving to Run For Water as 100 per cent of all your donations go directly toward clean water systems; all of the overhead is covered by generous partners. As well, the charity ensures that each partner community in Ethiopia raises 10 per cent of the funds needed to build the well to foster a sense of ownership over the project in the people who will be using and maintaining it.
