Walk with a purpose

Fountain of Peace NZ - Walk with a Purpose:
Changing lives one step at a time.

The heart of our Fountain of Peace NZ - Walk with a Purpose events is that students, their families and teachers can come together as a school community for something much bigger than themselves, to make a lasting difference to the lives of others.

These special and uplifting events involve students being sponsored to walk approximately 10 km to their school, on a ‘walking bus route’ where they can be joined by fellow students, teachers, family members and even pet dogs along the way. Students who take a lead role in organising these walks become the school’s Fountain of Peace NZ - Walk with a Purpose Ambassador.

For the most part, the money raised goes towards the life changing feeding programme at our Rwenjaza Hillside School in Uganda. Here, the majority of the students walk to and from school each day, some living up to 10 km away, often walking on an empty tummy. 

This feeding programme provides each student with a nourishing cup of porridge each school day and costs just $36 per child for an entire year.

However, Walk with a Purpose ambassadors can also choose for their fundraising to support one of our other projects, such as clean water programmes, relief packs for families, or other specific fundraising goals.

As well as raising funds to help support one of our life-saving projects in Uganda, being part of the Fountain of Peace NZ – Walk with a Purpose initiative gives students in New Zealand the opportunity to become change makers: to be part of the solution in bringing hope to those living in abject poverty in Uganda. In being involved in this fundraising Kiwi students appreciate that they have what it takes to create lasting change in the lives of others.

If you would like to start a Fountain of Peace NZ - Walk with a Purpose at your school, please contact us here for information on how to do this.

A super start to the morning! Thank you Tania & Mumma Jane for giving us the reason & enthusiasm to get up on a winter morning. Our peeps never moaned but got on with it, so lovely to see them walking with a purpose & enjoying their company oblivious of the weather. And more inspirational are the Ugandan children who do this every morning, absolute superstars! xo

11-year-old Aoife May, from Christchurch and a group of her school friends Walked with a Purpose raising funds towards the construction of a spring well in the wider community where we work in rural Western Uganda. The girls did amazingly 'well' and we are so grateful. The new well will provide over 50 families and two schools access to clean water"
