GF Walk for Water

Moving water - making impact

Our cause

  • 2.1 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water.
  • In many regions, women and children walk up more than 3 km daily in search for water. 
  • As of mid-2025, just 13% of the UN’s revised humanitarian aid appeal, which includes water and sanitation, has been funded.
  •  Just USD 50 can bring safe water to one person (Data by Water Mission).

Our motivation

As a leader in flow solutions, GF`s Excellence in Flow, extens to the work of the foundation.  Our vision extends beyond business impact to fostering a positive global footprint. The GF Walk for Water connects our corporate values with real-world action, supporting safe and accessible water for communities in need. By participating, GF employees contribute to life-changing projects, highlighting our shared dedication to sustainability and humanitarian values.

Together, we act as One GF, united across borders and roles, in the fight against the global water crisis. 

Our action

Participants, including GF employees and partners, walk a designated distance while carrying a bucket, symbolizing the long, difficult journeys that many make each day.

The event is a powerful expression of solidarity, bringing visibility to an urgent issue and inspiring collective action across the GF community, while collecting voluntary donations for the communities in need.
