Walk the World
Walk the World is the main fundraising event arising out of the partnership between TNT and the United Nations World Food Programme. The event has taken place worldwide since 2004 after a successful trial in Asia in 2003, growing from 40,000 participants in 2004 to 550,000 in 2008. It supports the first UN Millennium Development Goal which is to halve hunger by 2015 and is now the single largest global fundraising event of its type in the world.
The aim of the event is two fold, first to raise awareness about child hunger and secondly to help generate the necessary funds to address these problems and begin to alleviate poverty. The funds raised on the day are then ascribed to a specific country – in our case a school feeding programme in Tanzania.
