Imagine for a moment you have 10 minutes to pack your things and leave home, possibly for the last time. You’re a mother. In those brief moments, you must get yourself and your children dressed for winter, packed, and out the door. In a flurry of scarves and parkas, you gather necessary documents, perhaps throw a few snacks in a bag, and tell your children to pick out one item they love to take with them on the journey.
What would they choose? What would you choose? ...
At a World Vision Global 6K event in Palatine, IL, over 100 people walked, ran, or rolled to equip people in need with clean water access.
Join the world’s largest 6K for water — from wherever you are!
Reunite with your community on May 21 as you — and thousands of others around the world — walk, run, or roll the Global 6K for Water to help free women and children from a life spent collecting dirty water.
Why 6K? It’s the average distance women and kids in developing countries walk for water every day. Every $50 registration fee equips one person in need with lasting access to clean water through World Vision projects. This is a great way to empower families with one of life’s essential building blocks!

The Kinyarwanda word Dativa means one who wears a traditional crown. The name fits 49-year-old Dativa, who bears herself like royalty. But that regal countenance hides the many sorrows life has tossed her way.
As a girl, Dativa desired to serve others, dreaming of becoming a doctor or a community leader. But family and societal issues thwarted her plans …
Jonalyn, 16, is part of a church that World Vision supports in the Philippines. Her faith in God has been strengthened, opening her eyes to the numerous blessings she and her family receive every day.
During a busy day of teaching, people brought children to Jesus so He could pray for them. His disciples tried to shoo the kids away, sternly telling them to leave the Teacher alone. Hearing this, Jesus turned to His disciples and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Mathew 19:14, NIV).
We seek to remove any barrier that keeps kids from experiencing the kingdom of God and the love of Christ. That’s why World Vision has a God-sized goal to engage 15 million children, youth, and adults to know Jesus and grow in an active faith through our Christian Discipleship work.
