Maria Iosua

Every day, 292 million people around the world walk more than 30 minutes to collect water. This Lent, as part of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion, we’ll be walking with them.

We will be lacing up our sneakers and taking on The Long Walk for Water to help provide safe clean water for people in need. With every step we take, we'll be making real, lasting changes for vulnerable communities all over the world.

But we can’t do it alone! Unite Against Poverty with us this Lent and help create a world where no one gets left behind.

Thank you for walking with us – together, let's turn our compassion into action and make every step count!

Thank you
