Broughton’s Walk for Water

Broughton’s Walk for Water supports Global H2O, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Global H2O provides clean water and sanitation facilities in rural areas of Africa, particularly in Uganda, to solve the water crisis and improve health, education, and community growth. In rural Africa, access to water is limited, distant, and unsafe. Since 2010, Global H2O has built 160 wells and 80 latrines to establish a lasting solution in Central African communities.

Broughton alumnus, James Wilde, started Global H2O in 2009 after multiple expeditions to remote areas of the world. He saw a need to aid in water and sanitation for communities worldwide. We are excited to support Global H2O through our Walk for Water because it addresses a significant global issue and celebrates the impactful work of a former Broughton student!

Join us for the walk on Saturday, May 10, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The event will consist of walking the track at Broughton’s Jack Spain Stadium, relay races, competitions, student activities, and more. A $20 donation is required to participate and children 5 years old or younger get in free with an adult. All of the funds from the event will go toward providing clean water and sanitation facilities in Central Africa.

A woman walks 3.7 miles just to get a jug of water and will make the same long journey back home. Our Walk for Water 1-mile goal is to raise $4,000 for one latrine. Our 2-mile goal is to raise $9,200 for one well. And our 3-mile goal is to raise $12,500 for a well and a latrine. Donate at one of the links below to give to Global H2O! If you or your family member is a student or Broughton alum, select the corresponding donation page below. Otherwise, use the “General Donation” link. 

Thank you for your support!
