Walk for Water 2023

Walk for Water is an annual fundraising event to support clean water and dignified sanitation projects in developing countries and areas affected by natural disasters. Participants pledge to walk two kilometers carrying a bucket of water and raise funds in the process. The walk raises awareness and is symbolic of the long distances millions of people travel daily to collect water. 

GF held its first Walk for Water charity at its site in Irvine, CA (US) in 2016. This year, we are excited to participate in this initiative with seven GF locations. Each location organizes the date and schedule of activities for the event.

If you'd like to learn more about the walks and to donate, please visit the walks' individual event pages.

Our 2023 goal is to raise more donations than in our most recent event in 2019 (before COVID-19) and to continue to support access to clean water for all. Our donations enable the communities we support to optimize resource and water management, to improve water security, and to become more sustainable. As our customers and partners had contributed significantly to this cause in previous years, we count on their support and contributions this year to help us achieve our goal.

Helping communities globally is a GF tradition. Even in challenging times, we support access to clean water for all to prevent fatal illnesses and enable a shift of resources to education, infrastructure and other vital areas necessary for a sustainable society and more quality of life. The GF Walk for Water is in line with the company's sustainability efforts and its contributions as a good corporate citizen.
