Oxfam Water Week's 'Learn. Think. Act' structure encourages young people to take action on what they have learned. Raising money can be a meaningful form of action, helping young people develop a range of valuable skills.

Whatever fundraising activities your pupils decide to take part in, their support will make a huge difference to the lives of small-scale farmers in Liberia. Money raised will help to provide them with the water, high-quality seeds and tools they need to grow sufficient food and make a living.

A great way to consolidate learning, whilst raising money for Oxfam Water Week is to hold a sponsored walk, and it is something that can involve the whole school community.

Plan a sponsored walk:

• Where? You can hold your Water Walk wherever best for your school. This might be laps around the school playground, or in a local park. 
• When? Your walk could be during Oxfam Water Week itself, or whenever is convenient for your school. 
• How far? We suggest walking between 2 and 6km, but it's up to you! You can decide with your students, depending on their age and ability. Older students might like to walk further, or carry water along the way. 

Students can be sponsored to walk the same distance that many of their peers in the developing world walk to fetch water.
