CARE Canada’s Walk in Her Shoes Challenge - Get involved in the 2012 campaign.
 
Women and girls in the poorest communities around the world walk an average of 6km – 8,000 steps – every day to collect life-essentials such as water or firewood. This leaves little time to attend school, visit the health clinic or earn money to support their families. This year, CARE Canada is excited to launch Walk in Her Shoes in celebration of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Taking part is easy - register as an individual or team and get your group, school or colleagues involved in this national challenge.

Give it a try! Every step has the power to change her life forever. Visit www.care.ca/walkinhershoes or email walkinhershoes@care.ca to find out more and register today!  CARE is Canada's global force dedicated to defending dignity and fighting poverty by empowering the world's most vulnerable and greatest resource for change: women and girls.
