On November 18, 2017 Les Mills in collaboration with UNICEF, will host the largest fitness charity event in the world. MOVE THE WORLD's WORKOUT FOR WATER is designed to help address acute humanitarian crises such as water poverty in East African countries, the poorest countries in the world.
Children in particular suffer from the water crisis and are most at risk. If children consume impure water, they become weak, malnourished and more susceptible to waterborne diseases. These are among the leading causes of death among children under 5.
Sweating for a good cause
Together, donations, 100 percent of which will go to UNICEF, will be collected next Saturday to support children in crisis areas around the world and provide clean drinking water to people in East Africa. Hollywood star Hugh Jackman is also taking part in the fitness campaign!
Les Mills is leading this fundraising campaign together with its partner studios around the world. Anyone who performs a workout at one of the participating studios as part of MOVE THE WORLD can make a voluntary donation. Each course is symbolic of the distances and hardships people in East Africa have to endure to get water, which in most cases is even contaminated or contaminated with pathogens.
Just 414 US dollars would be enough to build a water pump and supply an entire community with clean water!
Find more information and a Les Mills studio near you here where you can attend classes and donate on November 18 - even if you're not a member!
