The Walk: Pace students, staff, and faculty carried buckets of water for ONE mile across the Pleasantville campus in solidarity with the people across the world that are forced to do so.

The Walk for World Water generated funds based on the number of Pace community members who took the challenge - meaning each and every person made an impact by participating.

The Water: To make sure that the funds raised make the most direct impact possible, Pace Academy is working with Engineers Without Borders - USA. The Northern New Jersey Professional Chapter of EWB has identified the village of Isanjandugu in Tanzania as a candidate for a water project.

On a daily basis, women and children can travel up to 6 kilometers along a steep hill to collect unclean water from shallow water holes and ditches. You can follow their blog as work on the project begins. To the right is an image of the water drank by some of the children in the village.

Press Release

The .007% Campaign 

When Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies created the “.007% Campaign,” we wanted to foster awareness of water issues within the Pace University Community. The Walk for World Water was created as part of our action-oriented spring semester as a means of channeling this new awareness into impact.
