Like last year, Water Walk 2021 is a national Livestream Event offering powerful messages, musical guests, reflections on the work of VIP, and an opportunity to change people’s lives. The Livestream Event can be viewed here on this page, and on Facebook Live and YouTube Live.
To make sure you don’t miss anything, subscribe to our email updates and Like us on Facebook.
Participants can create their own fundraising page to raise funds for their team. Share it with your network via email or social media.
We know that times continue to be hard for many in our VIP family. We hope that all can experience the joy of coming together (even while apart) with a common purpose of improving lives in Malawi.

No, only Participants who are part of a team, tracking walking distances & asking for financial support need to create a Fundraising Page.

Donors can give online on any Participant’s page. OR they can send cash or checks to VIP with a note of whose Team to credit with their gift.

1. Sign up by clicking here, or use a sign-up link sent to you by a Team Leader.
   If you don’t have a team, start your own! Or reach out to aarons@villagesinpartnership.org to help find you a team.
2. Share your page via social media or email to collect online donations and raise awareness with your family, friends, or coworkers.
   You can also collect offline donations like cash or checks (see below).
3. Walk at home or around your neighborhood in solidarity with those who must walk just to get clean water. Send us photos by email or using the hashtag #WaterWalkChallenge on social media.
   From May 8 to 22, we’ll have a friendly competition to see which team walks the most. Enter your miles on our Walking Challenge Tracker.
4. EVERYONE is welcome to tune in to our Livestream Event on May 22nd.

1. Recruit a team to increase your impact! A good size for a team is about 10 people, but with the Walk being online, there’s no limit to where you can recruit team members from!
2. Order your T-Shirts by May 1st so they arrive before the Walk.
3. Organize a team meeting (even online) to inform your team about the Water Walk logistics and to take a team picture. (Send team picture to Aaron).
4. Encourage your team to reach out to their network of family and friends to meet a goal of $2,000 or more per team.
5. Attend the Water Walk Livestream Event with your team and encourage your network and donors to join us on Saturday, May 22nd on Facebook Live or YouTube.

Many villagers in Malawi–especially young girls–have to walk to get clean water and carry it home every day.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries on earth with many living on $1 or $2 a day. VIP works in 26 villages in an impoverished region of Malawi called Sakata. We are dedicated to eradicating extreme poverty in the villages of Malawi.

Funds raised during the Water Walk will be used to support clean water projects and other sustainable development initiatives, including health & sanitation. Villages in Partnership is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit; donations made by cash, check, or online are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Checks can be made out to “Villages In Partnership” and mailed to:
PO Box 52, Allentown, NJ 08501. Be sure and include a note of which team the gift is to be counted for!
