Bonavista Church | Saturday, September 28th
Thank you to everyone that joined us for the Walk for Water! This 5K neighbourhood walk and BBQ was organized by Bonavista Church and International Needs Canada to raise $22,000 for a water and sanitation project at a school in Burkina Faso. With your support, we raised over $7,000!
Project Details
The walk’s aim was to raise funds for a water and sanitation project at a school called La Bonne Nouvelle in Bobo-Dioulasso.
La Bonne Nouvelle serves 800 students and 37 staff, but faces significant water and sanitation challenges. The school experiences frequent water outages during school hours, forcing students to seek unsafe water sources or even miss school to find water elsewhere. This situation leads to water-related illnesses and impacts attendance and academic performance. The school’s latrines are also in disrepair, lacking basic hygiene standards and handwashing stations.
Donate Now
It’s not too late to support the Bonne Nouvelle WASH Project! Even though the walk has already taken place, you can make a general donation to the project through the donation form below.
