Walk in Her Shoes 2023
Everyday 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 job, and traps them in a cycle of poverty.
CARE's Walk in Her Shoes is a healthy and flexible challenge, trying to understand the feelings of women and girls living in poverty and raise funds to support them. This year is 12th anniversary.
Your entry fee and donation through this campaign will go to CARE International Japan working around the world to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We put women and girls in the center because we know we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
