The largest worldwide water initiative in history

The Dow Live Earth Run for Water consists of a series of 6 km run/walks in countries around the world. The event will feature A-List artistes concerts and water education activities aimed at igniting a tipping point to help solve the global water crisis.

Why 6km?
This is the average distance many women and children walk every day to get access to clean and safe water in developing countries.

‘This is Why we Run’
Right now, close to a billion people are without access to clean, safe drinking water, and by 2025 two thirds of us will live in water scarce areas.
10% of entry fees will go to our local water charity partner, Lien Aid, to support water project around the region.

RUN, GIVE, or SAVE
• Every step counts: Register for the RUN
• Every dollar counts: GIVE to local water projects
• Every drop counts: Learn to save water at home, school, work

10% of all proceeds will go to our local Water Charity partner, Lien Aid.

Lien Aid closely partners Live Earth this year in a joint effort to raise awareness on the lack of adequate access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation for millions of people. As an international development NGO headquartered in Singapore, with a large portfolio of projects targeted at making safe water and sanitation accessible to poor communities in Asia, Lien Aid has impacted over 200,000 lives in the region. Founded in 2006 by the Lien Foundation and the Nanyang Technological University, Lien Aid’s strength lies in delivering solutions using appropriate technology backed by knowledge transfer.

On April 18, thousands of people worldwide will be running the symbolic 6km and Singapore will participate too. Have a fun filled weekend while doing good at the same time! Watch out also for the live concert and Water Village at the Marina Bay and come drop by the Lien Aid booth to find out what you can do for the water cause!

Proceeds from Live Earth will be channeled to the following projects:

Water for Health
10 health centers in Cambodia will be provided with a rainwater harvesting unit each, which will improve access to safe drinking water for 90,000 vulnerable patients who would otherwise be exposed to contaminated sources of water. The local staff and community members will receive training on the maintenance of the system to ensure sustainability of the project.

Please visit this site to find out more: www.akvo.org/

Young Engineers of Change
In order to expose Singaporean youths to global development challenges and inspire them to use their skills to make a difference, Lien Aid will mentor a team of young environmental engineers, who will head to Cambodia in May to work on a field project. Their task is to research and improve on the design of current rainwater harvesting systems, which will then be installed at Lien Aid project sites. The students will round up their learning journey by sharing their experience with their peers in Singapore.
