MEEKER | “Six kilometers (3.7 miles) is the average distance someone has to walk to get clean water in many places in the developing world,” Meeker United Methodist Church Pastor David Petty told the Herald Times last year just before hosting its first World Vision Global 6K for Water event.
“For many of them, the water they get, even after walking that distance, is not guaranteed to be safe or free from disease,” Petty said.
