Walk the Runway for Water
Sunday, August 25, 2024, MGM Grand Casino and Resort will host “Walk the Runway for Water" a benefit fashion show that will raise funds to support the work of Youth for Global Health & Social Justice, a global advocate for the human right to clean water. The Organization: Youth for Global Health & Social Justice (Y4GH) is a Michigan 501 (c) 3 organization established in 2016. The mission of Y4GH is to "Support young people as leaders who will work to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for our global community and to promote open dialogue about social injustice that impacts the right to clean water and sanitation." Y4GH is a 10-country collaborative and United Nations partner with projects in Cameroon, Senegal, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Liberia, South Africa, Haiti, and the United States. Y4GH raises young people's awareness of careers in water infrastructure, public health, and water advocacy. It also teaches them the importance of protecting our environment so that clean water is a human right for all. Y4GH is passionate about transformational learning and seeking self-generated, youth-inspired solutions. The Goal "Walk the Runway for Water" aims to support our current initiative, "4 in 24." This project completes the drilling of water wells in four countries: Haiti, Senegal, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The Impact The consequences of unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) on children can be deadly. Over 700 children under age 5 die every day of diarrheal diseases due to a lack of appropriate WASH services. In areas of conflict, children are nearly 20 times more likely to die from diarrheal disease than from the conflict itself. The immediate benefits of "4 in 24" are transformative for our target communities. Access to clean water enhances overall health and well-being, significantly reducing waterborne diseases that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.
