Hope Water Project 5K

Imagine the hope that flows when the harsh, unforgiving, dry earth offers up sweet, clean, water! Join us for our annual 5K & Fun Run event – whether you sprint, jog, walk, or volunteer – and make a difference in the lives of the Pokot people of western Kenya. With every well we dig, thousands of lives are impacted. Participate – no matter what your speed – and raise funds for this great cause with an easy-to-customize personal fundraising page. Both events include a family-friendly barbecue, bounce houses, petting zoo, face painting, and lawn games – don’t miss this opportunity to have fun and change lives!
