Be Hope to Her

•Be Hope To Her is an experiential event designed by Nuru International for colleges, universities and city centers across the United States.

•On behalf of the women and girls in the developing world, Nuru asks you to “take a walk in her shoes” – by carrying her bucket of water on your head.

•Walk on a designated route through the CLU campus: with empty bucket for 10 minutes, then walk with buckets filled with water for 15 minutes.

•Through Be Hope to Her, thousands of men and women will carry buckets of water on their heads like women and children in the developing world do every day due to the lack of nearby clean water sources in their communities. Participants, acting as advocates, will create change by spreading awareness and raising funds for sustainable projects in Nuru’s partner communities.

•Facts about water shortage in developing countries: Water accessibility is taken for granted in most societies in the developed world. Imagine if – just to get a cup of water – you had to walk for 25 minutes; or, to have enough water for cooking, laundry and bathing, you had to carry a bucket of water for 25 minutes. Wouldn’t that drastically change your life?

•Registration is $8 per person ($10 after April 5) – online registration only: www.behopetoher.com. Click on "Register for the Walk!" and scroll down to the Pacific region to find Cal Lutheran.
