Walk for Water
Presented by Portland Roasting
We sponsored our second annual Walk for Water on March 21, 2010. The second year brought double the amount of walkers and raised money that will allow Water for All to start construction of a well in Tanzania. Water for All is a non-profit organization dedicated to building wells and increasing access to water for communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Please visit our Walk for Water site to find out more about the event, our speaker line-up, the non-profit fair, speaker line-up, team relay and our World Water Day concert. You can donate at any time during the year via our registration page.
This year, the event is put on by Portland Global Initiatives, a non-profit organization we created in order to promote global water issues.
