CARE International is a humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

Story

Every day thousands of women and girls, all over the world, have no choice but to walk many miles to fetch water for their families. Water that is often dirty.

Their daily routine deprives them of the chance to have an education, a jon, and traps them in a cycle of poverty.

In Amhara, Ethiopia, CAREs LEGAS water, sanitation and hygiene project built or rehabilitated 1,479 water points in rural communities, providing safe and adequate water access for 302,192 people. 80% of households there now travel less than half an hour to get water.

This has led to an increase in girls school enrollment, improved school performance and reduced incidences of violence against girls collecting water.

The money you raise can help build wells and water pumps closer to rural communities so that women and girls don't have to spend their days walking for water, and can plan for a better future.

Register for just £5 and raise £100, and by walking 10,000 steps (that's about 8km/5miles) a day, you can make a real difference to the lives of women and girls living in poverty around the world.

So, grab your buddy or your buggy, you sister or your mister, team up with anyone you fancy, or fly solo if you like. But join us for Walk In Her Shoes 2020!
