BRAVE Girls Leadership is hosting a Walk for Water event to raise $2,000 for the Erasmus Creche Tribal community in South Africa. This money will provide a rain catchment tank, taps for easy access to the water, a pipe connecting the tank to a kitchen to supply a local lunch program, as well as hygiene education at Erasmus Crèche. You can help contribute by walking laps, donating, and spreading awareness about the global water crisis!
