Will your school go the distance to help empower people to lift themselves out of poverty?

Hold a one-day walking event at your school during Lent. Register your school, take on the walking challenge and raise funds for people in Africa, Asia and the Pacific who walk to collect water every day.

Your walk can be done as laps of the oval, at a local park or a circuit of the school. Plus, we’ll provide you with the fundraising support required to make your fundraiser a success!

Are you organising Project Compassion at your school? Activate your school's profile below:
