On September 22, Uganda Farmers Inc. will sponsor its
second annual Running Water for Africa event at Foran High
School in Milford.
Waterborne diseases are the leading cause of illness and
death worldwide, especially in Africa and Asia. 40% of the
worlds population does not have clean water to drink, and
according to a United Nations report, 4,000 children die each
day as a result of ingesting contaminated water.
Thanks to local support, last years inaugural race was a big
success. Funds raised were used to bring clean water to
thousands of people in the western Ugandan villages of
Rwesigiire and Ruhunga.
These villagers are now assured of a clean water supply and
no longer have to walk two to three miles twice a day to
fetch water as taps are scattered throughout each village.
This years proceeds will be used to benefit the village of
Ihunga, Uganda. Pre-registration is encouraged (online at
www.raceit.com) and must be received before September 15.
On race day, registration begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by an
8:30 a.m. Kids Fun Run and the 9 a.m. start for the 5K run
and two mile walk. Refreshments, awards, and music will be
provided.
All donations are tax-deductible and are
monitored by Uganda Farmers, Inc.
