5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.

Story

Walk or run 5.4km a day to help us get One Step Closer to making sure the 5.4 million children trapped in orphanages worldwide get the chance to grow up with safe, loving families.

Lace up your trainers or dust off your hiking boots, and take on the challenge of running or walking 5.4km every day in the week leading up to Fathers Day to help give the 5.4 million children trapped in orphanages worldwide the Home Advantage they deserve.

Every kilometre you walk, and pound you raise, will help support our Home Advantage Campaign and get us One Step Closer to ending the use of orphanages for good. Because children need families, never orphanages.

About our Home Advantage Campaign

Athletes do better when they play somewhere familiar, with a home crowd of friends and family cheering them on. In sport, thats known as Home Advantage.

But Home Advantage is critical for children, too. Every child needs to grow up with a sense of belonging and the support of a family. That Home Advantage gives children the chance to grow up happy and healthy and to chase their dreams.

But 5.4 million children worldwide are denied this, confined in loveless orphanages away from home. And shockingly, 8 in 10 children in orphanages still have family who could take care of them, with the right support. And the rest could have loving foster families.

By running or walking 5.4km a day between 12-18 June, you can support our Home Advantage Campaign and help drive the change needed to end orphanages for good.
