Water and wood walk
Start walking today!
Every day, millions of women and children walk for hours to collect water and wood.
Wood is needed to build fires and boil water. This challenge invites you and your team to walk in their footsteps.
Register your steps (visible on your smartphone), share your total results with us, and help provide more families in need with access to clean water and clean energy.
Walk together. Feel better. Make a tangible difference.

Walk for Water & Wood works for both small and large workplaces. You decide how long you want to walk and how much the company contributes per kilometer.
If five colleagues walk approximately 6 kilometers a day and the company contributes 7 kr per kilometer, you will raise 210 kr a day. After just over seven days, you will have reached 1,500 kr, which corresponds to the cost of one Solvatten unit.
If there are 20 of you, that makes four Solvatten units in the same amount of time.
You choose your own goal.
Every kilometer contributes to more families needing to use less wood for water.
Calculate Your Water & Wood Walk
The calculation is based on 0.75 km per 1,000 steps, a company contribution of 7 SEK per kilometer , and a Solvatten unit valued at 1,500 SEK.
Have you walked that far? Wow!
Bird & Bird Sweden initiated Walking for Water as a joint effort between the firm’s Responsible Business and Wellness committees. Over the course of one month, employees walked more than 5.2 million steps together while raising money for 15 Solvatten units that will reach families in Kenya with limited access to safe water.
To conclude the campaign, we visited Bird & Bird’s office to share more about how Solvatten is used and the difference the solution can make in the daily lives of families. For many participants, it was also the first time they were able to see and experience a Solvatten unit firsthand, connecting their steps in the competition to the tangible impact of their contribution.
“Over the course of one month, our employees walked over 5.2 million steps and raised money for 15 Solvatten units for families in Kenya. It was inspiring to see the engagement in the step challenge and to encounter Solvatten and their work up close. We at Bird & Bird are proud to contribute to a solution that makes a tangible difference in people’s everyday lives.”
