Approximately 2.3 billion people worldwide lack access to safe water. Women and girls literally carry the bulk of this burden, walking an average of six kilometers to collect water not only to drink but also to cook, bathe, and wash dishes and clothing. Kohler is working with humanitarian partners to help change that through a global program called Safe Water for All.

The annual Kohler Run/Walk for Safe Water is one of the many ways we engage our associates and individuals around the world who are passionate about safe water as a human right. So, we invite you to lace up your running shoes and join thousands of fellow participants in our month-long run/walk challenge in October 2024.

Register for the In-Person Kohler Run/Walk for Safe Water, October 3, 2024, in Kohler, Wisconsin.

Register beginning on September 25, 2024 for the Virtual Run/Walk for Safe Water, October 1–31, 2024.

Building on Past Success

Together, every step counts! Last year, associates and participants logged an impressive amount of steps to raise awareness. Kohler Co. also made a $300,000 donation to water projects globally.

The safe water crisis affects communities everywhere in the world—urban and rural communities in both wealthy and developing countries. The magnitude of this crisis is too large for any one individual, organization, or business to create great impact. Kohler is proud to partner with humanitarian organizations that prioritize solving the safe water issue.
