Walk Against Want Can Make You an Everyday Hero!
Walk Against Want started over 40 years ago with the goal of raising awareness of the plight of women in the world's poorest communities. The Walk symbolised the long walk these women take daily to collect clean water.
Since its humble beginning hundreds of thousands of people have now taken part in the event, raising millions of dollars for our long-term development work around the world. Many of these walks have been organised by dedicated people like you! Walk Against Want is also a great way for schools and events students to run a successful event that not only benefits their studies, but also our work.
Thanks to the implementation of a new online fundraising system, participants of Walk Against Want can raise money easily and help fight poverty - all it takes is just a few simple steps.
