[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you want a unique, fun, and impactful way to support your corporate social responsibility strategy, look no further than World Vision’s Global 6K for Water — an annual event that invites participants to bring clean water to those in need by walking or running six kilometers.<\/p>\n

Why 6K? It’s the average distance women and kids in the developing world walk for water every day. Whether you host your own Global 6K or sponsor one, it can help elevate your brand, engage your employees, and change the lives of women and children by freeing them from a life spent collecting dirty water.<\/p>\n

What began in 2015 as a national event with 1,400 participants has grown steadily year over year. In 2018, 48,000 participants at 930 locations in 30 countries helped bring clean water to more than 63,000 people, with 53 businesses of varying sizes — including international corporations — partnering with World Vision to make the event a success.<\/p>\n
