Water walk raises funds for African village in need of clean water
If you were driving along Route 13 in Salisbury you may have noticed students walking with tubs of water across the campus of Salisbury University.
Students involved in the Water Walk raised over $3,000 that will go toward a new well for a tribe in the upper west region of Ghana.
Water Walk attendees participated in a multi-kilometer walk with a water bucket held high in solidarity with African women and children who make a walk like this several times a day to their water source.
"We'll be signing our final paperwork for Zera West Africa, which it will be an indigenous NGO," said founder and CEO of Zera, Lee Oxford. "That organization will receive these funds and will then hire a well drilling company who will go and do that work."
The event, put on by Zera Missions International, is put on in hopes of raising awareness of those mostly women and children in the developing world in need of clean accessible water.
