Fast Day: Walk the World with Us
CAFOD believes that by working – and walking – together we can bring an end to poverty and injustice
Walking is the way that most of the poorest people in the world get around. Children walk for miles to go to school because they are determined to have an education.
Women will walk for hours to take a sick child to the health centre or to make a few pence selling vegetables in a city market.
By participating in the Walk the world with us fundraising challenge, pupils and their families can express solidarity with families around the world for whom walking is often the only way.
