Pathway To Tomorrow and Drop of Water invite you to participate in The Walk for Water 5K Challenge, a 3.1M charity walk that will take place at the Main Trail in Griffith Park on October 4th, 2025 from 10 am - 12 pm. Participants are invited to experience the journey that millions of women and young girls in Africa take multiple times each day to collect water.
The goal of the event is to raise awareness of the plight of young girls and women living in rural African communities, who often miss school and face incidents of gender-based violence while making long trips by foot to collect water for their households.
Walk participants are encouraged to ask family members, friends and colleagues to "sponsor their steps" by making a suggested donation of $20 for every 1,000 steps taken in the 5K challenge (7,000 steps total). Donations can be made on our website at:
https://www.pathway2tomorrow.org/donate-now/
All proceeds from the event will go towards constructing wells and installing water infrastucture in rural communities in Ethiopia.

Mission Statement
Pathway partners with local organizations in underserved communities throughout the world to build housing, facilitate environmental conservation projects, and lead water security, sanitation and education projects.
Description
Pathway to Tomorrow was founded in 2015 in response to the growing global crises of homelessness, climate change and water scarcity. The organization administers programs in each of these areas through a network of partnerships with local organizations working in underserved communities. Pathway's affordable housing program builds communities for individuals and households, including families, veterans, seniors and former foster youth who are homeless, at risk of homelessness and/or low to moderate income. Our conservation program plants trees in communities with limited green spaces to combat the urban heat island effect. Pathway's water security program works with local partners in rural communities that lack access to clean water to build wells and improve sanitation infrastructure.
