Siddhartha Bank Organizes 5km Walkathon to Mark World Water Day

Kathmandu. On the occasion of World Water Day, Siddhartha Bank organized a 5-kilometer long awareness rally (walkathon) with the objective of raising public consciousness.

The bank organized this program to spread the message of safe water, sanitation, and gender equality, showing solidarity with the theme of World Water Day 2026, "Water and Gender." 

The walkathon, which began from Narayanchaur, Naxal, carrying placards highlighting the importance of the proper use and sanitation of water, concluded after passing through Hattisar, Putalisadak, Ratnapark, Durbar Marg, and returning to Naxal. 

More than 697 members of the general public, including 264 women and 433 men, participated in this event following a call made through social media.
