Walk for Water is raising money to support projects in the world’s poorest communities to help bring clean water to everyone, everywhere.

Any donations that come through your Walk for Water page will automatically come through to WaterAid – that leaves you more time to focus on getting out there and reaching your distance goal!

The easiest way to pay in donations is through your Just Giving fundraising page, however, you can send donations other ways if this is more convenient for you.

Take a look at our website for more details.

You can set up your page and fundraise in British Pound Sterling, Euros, US dollars, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. JustGiving automatically convert this to British Pound Sterling on our behalf and your fundraising page will show this too.

The money you raise through Walk for Water will help bring clean water to thousands of people across the world. Even the smallest amount can make a huge difference to someone's life:

• £60 could help to run a period hygiene session for one class in East Africa.
• £72 could install a 1 km water pipe in Southern Africa.
• £144 could pay for labour in building a school toilet in Asia.

JustGiving is the world's most trusted platform for online giving.

When you register for Walk for Water, you will be creating a JustGiving account which powers your Walk for Water profile page. This profile page enables you to collect donations and track you fitness activity during March.

There are multiple ways to add your distance to your Walk for Water fundraising page during the event month, either by connecting your page to Strava or by entering distances manually. By adding your distance to your page, you’ll unlock special badges, increase your distance total and show all your donors how hard you're working to support WaterAid!

Strava is a fitness tracking app which can track and record your activity. If you choose to use Strava, the activity you record will be automatically uploaded onto your fundraising page if you it with your Walk for Water fundraising page, powered by JustGiving.

To connect to Strava, log into your Walk for Water fundraising page.

1. Find the ‘Connect to Strava’ section on your Walk for Water fundraising page or click the ‘Edit page’ button -> ‘Edit fitness’ -> ‘Connect to Strava’. Please note: if you cannot see this, you are not logged in.
2. Login using your Strava details
3. Press ‘Authorise’
4. Now your account is connected
5. Go to your Strava app and make sure your activity settings are set to public so that they can be shared with your Walk for Water fundraising page
6. The future activity your log through Strava will now appear in the Activity section of your pagee

One of the best things about Strava is that it can connect to many other apps and devices to pull through your distance onto your Walk for Water fundraising page! Firstly, choose your fitness app or device from the options below and connect it to Strava. Then follow the instructions above to log your distance using Strava.

Alternatively, you can use your apps or device to record your activities and then use the manual distance tracker to add your metres, kilometres or miles to your page.

• Connect Strava to Fitbit
• Connect Strava to Apple Watch
• Connect Strava to Garmin
• Connect Strava to Samsung Gear
• View Strava’s full list of device and app integrations

Each member of the team will have their own distance goal to reach. Once your team is set up, any distances you log as an individual will appear on your team’s page automatically.

You can log your distance in miles and we will automatically convert that into kilometres for you. This allows everyone to compete in the leader boards for distance, without having to do any maths!

You cannot edit or delete a distance activity that is pulled through to your page from Strava, however you can delete a distance activity added through a manual distance tracker and repost the activity with the correct information.

If you have logged distances and they aren’t showing on your fundraising page, here’s a few things to check:

1. It’s still loading – wait a few minutes after logging your distance and refresh your page. 
2. The dates – only distances logged during the event month (March 1 – March 31) will show on your page and contribute to your distance total. Badges related to distance will also not be rewarded until the event begins. 
3. (Strava) Activity settings – your distance will only show on your fundraising page if your Strava settings are set to public. When your settings have been amended, only future activities will be added to your page.
4. (Strava) Connection issues – try disconnecting your Strava account from your Walk for Water fundraising page and reconnecting it. Only future activities will be added to your page.
