Run, Walk & Cycle For Water

Get Active While Raising Funds For Benin

PlanFutur Run4Water is a community health-based campaign, where we encourage people to get active through run, walk or cycle while raising funds to build water towers in Benin.

Water unlocks human potential, allowing people to achieve their goals. PlanFutur works in West-Africa on projects related to Water & Sanitation. We build water towers in Benin to provide everyone with clean drinking water.

And because water affects us all, we need everyone to act!
