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, I will be walking with them.
I'll be lacing up my sneakers and taking on The BIG Water Walk to help provide safe clean water for people in need. With every step I take, I'll be making real, lasting change for vulnerable communities all over the world.
But I can’t do it alone! Unite Against Poverty with me this Lent and help create a world where no one gets left behind.
Thank you for walking with me – together, let's turn our compassion into action and make every step count!
Thank you
