World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22nd to highlight the importance of freshwater and foster a greater understanding of the global water crisis. This year we are launching an exciting initiative on World Water Day. We want to raise awareness of the struggles many people worldwide face in accessing clean drinking water and raise funds to build water wells for those who need it.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU WALK FOR WATER?
It is easy to take safe drinking water for granted. While we hardly have to go further than the next tap in a kitchen, more than 2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. According to the UN, 500 million of them live in Africa.
Imagine waking up every morning knowing that your first task is to walk six kilometres and carry 20 kilos of water back home. Girls and women usually bear the burden of providing water for their entire family. This responsibility leaves them exhausted and makes it very difficult for the girls to concentrate in the classroom.
But this time, WE will run those 6 km for them!
BWT will donate 1 euro for every kilometre you run.

All funds raised will go to the b.waterMission project!
b.Water mission is the flagship project of the AQUA Pearls Foundation. It is a transformative project that improves people’s long-term quality of life by building water wells.
Since the first b.waterMISSION water well was built in 2019, almost 83,000 people in Tanzania and The Gambia have gained access to clean drinking water within 150 metres of their homes. In total, almost 406 million litres will be distributed by the end of March 2024!
