Wash Challenge 2025 – 22. Marts

---- English below ----

Hvad er WASH Challenge? 

I nogle af de tørreste steder i Afrika skal kvinder gå op til en time, for at skaffe rent vand til sin familie. Hver dag går de ca. 1 time med en vanddunk på op til 20kg gennem ufremkommeligt terræn, i bagende varme og nogle gange med et lille barn på ryggen. 

I anledning af World Water Day d. 22. marts sætter PlanBørnefonden sammen med CrossFit-boxe over hele landet (inkl. CrossFit Heaven) med en udfordring fokus på, at 2 milliarder mennesker mangler adgang til rent vand, og hvert andet minut dør et barn på grund af beskidt drikkevand. 

Udfordringen er simpel: hvor langt kan du gå på 1 time med et 20kg object?

Hvor: CrossFit Heaven

Hvornår: lørdag d. 22. Marts kl 11-12

Pris: Det er gratis at deltage, men vi håber meget at deltagere og tilskuere vil donere til PlanBørnefondens arbejde. Hver donation over 50 kr, giver desuden lodder i tombolaen og muligheden for at vinde fede præmier.

Hvordan arbejder PlanBørnefonden for at sikre adgang til rent drikkevand? 

WASH står for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, og er en fællesbetegnelse for de programmer, som PlanBørnefonden arbejder med, der bl.a. omhandler rent vand. Dette inkluderer: 

• Etablering af brønde, håndvaske og latriner.
• Udvikling og etablering af soldrevne vandsystemer i samarbejde med Grundfos. 
• Udannelse af lokale i at drive og vedligeholde faciliteterne. 
• Oplysning af lokalbefolkningen om kønsroller og de udfordringer kvinder møder grundet manglen på rent vand - f.eks. i relation til menstruation.

Wash Challenge 2025 – March 22nd

What is the WASH Challenge?

In some of the driest places in Africa, women must walk up to an hour to fetch clean water for their families. Every day, they walk about 1 hour carrying a water container weighing up to 20kg through difficult terrain, in scorching heat, and sometimes with a small child on their back.

On the occasion of World Water Day, March 22nd, PlanBørnefonden, together with CrossFit gyms across the country (including CrossFit Heaven), is hosting a challenge to raise awareness of the fact that 2 billion people lack access to clean water, and every two minutes, a child dies due to contaminated drinking water.

The challenge is simple: how far can you walk in 1 hour carrying a 20kg object?

Where: CrossFit Heaven

When: Saturday, March 22nd, from 11 AM to 12 PM

Price: Participation is free, but we hope that participants and spectators will donate to PlanBørnefonden's work. Every donation over 50 DKK will also give you a chance to win great prizes in the raffle.
