Done.
Everyday in Africa, many people, particularly women, have to walk for miles to get water. The chore of fetching water is no small task. It involves walking sometimes up to 10 miles to the nearest water source, and carrying home the heavy containers filled with water. This often takes up a big part of the day, and even then the water source is not always a safe one. It might be scooped from a dirty pool, unclean and containing parasites or dangerous bacteria.
Through the 10 Mile program, the African Well Fund asks you to Walk 10 Miles in Her Shoes. Individuals or groups who wish to participate raise 10 miles worth of pennies -- or 84,480 pennies ($844.80).
It's taken just over 12 months, but we've finally raised the money.
