I’m Walking in Her Shoes!
Every day millions of girls are kept out of school because they’re too busy collecting water, food and firewood for their families. Millions of women spend the majority of their days doing the same, which severely limits their ability to earn an income, participate in leadership or governance activities, or learn new skills which could help them break free from poverty. And I know this stuff isn’t just spin - I’ve seen it. Too many times.
Which is why I’m joining in CARE’s fundraiser Walk In Her Shoes. From next Monday I will walk 10,000 steps per day for seven days while raising money for women and girls living in poverty. Given we’re heading into the grips of winter, the prospect of strolling Melbourne’s streets all gloved up is not as delightful as it could be…but walk I will!
I’m setting myself the very conservative fundraising target of $300, and I’d love if you could help me reach it.
Sponsor me, or even better, sign up yourself.
p.s. Don’t forget it’s tax time, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
