Access to clean and safe water is essential for health, education, and everyday life, yet many rural communities around the world still lack reliable access to it. Children can be particularly affected, with limited water access creating challenges for their health, education, and ability to thrive.
Australian Relief Organisation is bringing communities together through a fundraising walk and ride focused on improving access to clean water both overseas and in Australia.
The 2026 Clean Water Walk and Ride will take place on Sunday, 1 November 2026, encouraging participants to walk or ride while raising funds for clean water projects.
The event aims to raise $60,000 to build sustainable water wells in rural communities across Africa and Asia, while also funding a clean water project for a regional school in Australia. Participants will be helping support children, orphans, and communities that need reliable access to safe water. Each new well has the potential to provide clean water to hundreds of children, helping create healthier environments where they can learn, grow, and build their futures.
Importantly, the fundraiser also brings the cause closer to home. Funds will contribute toward providing clean and safe water to a regional Australian school, demonstrating that access to reliable water remains important both internationally and within local communities.
Whether participants choose to walk or ride, every step and kilometre will contribute toward the fundraising goal and help bring clean water closer to communities in need. The event is more than a walk or ride—it is an opportunity to turn physical activity into practical support for communities across Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Join here on November 1, 2026, and help bring clean, safe water closer to communities near and far.

1 NOVEMBER 2026
By walking or riding in this event, you’re not just moving your body — you’re helping children, orphans, and communities gain access to clean, safe water, both overseas and here at home.
Our goal is to raise $60,000 to build sustainable water wells in rural communities across Africa and Asia, while also funding a clean water project for a regional school in Australia.
Each well provides clean water to hundreds of children, helping them learn, grow, and dream again — and every dollar raised also brings safe water closer to a school in our own backyard.
