Charity walk: Walk In Her Shoes Fundraising 
Walk in solidarity with women and girls in the developing world who walk miles every day collecting water for their families.
These gruelling daily treks mean they often don’t have time to reach their full potential in life.
CARE is building wells, boreholes and standing taps close to their homes, allowing them more time to go to school or work.
This March, walk 10,000 steps a day in solidarity and raise money for women and girls in the poorest communities.
... of the world’s poorest billion people are women and girls.
... is the average distance women and girls in developing countries walk every day to fetch water.
