Amman Imman: Water is Life

Raise awareness about the water crisis and raise funds to bring water to some of the most vulnerable populations on earth in the Azawak of West Africa by participating in A Walk for Water this spring!

"A Walk for Water" is a collaborative fundraising event for students, families and communities to benefit development organization Amman Imman: Water is Life and the children in the Azawak of Niger, West Africa

During nine months of the year, in stifling 110+ degree temperatures, the children of the Azawak make a marathon hike for water, inspired not by an athletic goal, but by a desperate need. They travel up to 30 miles in a day, in an oppressive heat, with little to eat, They know that if they don't return soon with water, one of their family members might die.

To bring an awareness to the challenges these children face, and to raise money to bring them water, schools, students and their communities are invited to organize a special event: "A Walk For Water", a collaborative fundraising project supporting the mission of Amman Imman.

Amman Imman means "Water is Life" . Amman Imman is dedicated to saving and improving the lives of the people in the Azawak region of Niger, West Africa by supplying permanent water sources.
