Hike4Water 🥾⛺🏞️

This November, Katie Spotz is embarking on Hike4Water - summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. ⛰️

At 19,341 feet, it’s the highest peak in Africa — and a whole new kind of challenge. This isn’t about speed or strength, but endurance, altitude, and mindset. It’s a slow, steady climb through five climate zones, with one goal: the summit.

And just like every other adventure, it’s not just for the challenge itself — it’s for something bigger. This climb is part of my ongoing effort to bring clean water access to communities around the world. One step at a time, one story at a time, we keep going.

○ 31% of schools lack access to safe water and adequate sanitation globally
○ 1 in 4 girls do not complete primary school (compared to 1 in 7 in boys)
○ 15% increase in female enrollment when provided with clean water
○ 443m days of school are absent due to preventable water-related diseases each year

Clean water means more kids in school. The purpose behind Hike4Water is to inspire action to support schools in Tanzania on behalf of H2O for Life.

Thanks for considering joining the mission. Every drop matters!
