Since 2016, this passionate group of runners has combined endurance with purpose—raising funds and awareness for clean water projects that change lives.

Why We Run

Daybreak’s Team Hope believes that access to clean water transforms lives and entire communities. Many of us have seen it firsthand—walking into a village without water, and years later returning to see that same village thriving because of a single well.

  • Villages grow into vibrant communities with schools, churches, farms, and businesses.
  • Women and girls no longer walk miles for water, risking their safety.
  • Health improves across the board, and infant mortality rates drop.
  • Clean water brings stability, dignity, and opportunity.
  • We often take for granted the water that flows from our faucets—never thinking twice about the blessing it truly is.

Our mission is to help our brothers and sisters in Sierra Leone and Liberia access that same basic human right. Will you join us and be part of the change?

A Deeper Solution to the Water Crisis

Every day, millions lack access to clean water—but World Hope is changing that with smart, deep-drilled wells built to last. See how clean water becomes the first step toward health, education, and lasting change.
