Challenge yourself to walk with One Foot Raised

You can help Jesuit Mission to walk beside our most marginalised brothers and sisters by signing up for our new supporter event, One Foot Raised.

One Foot Raised challenges you to walk and raise funds for our projects overseas using a peer-to-peer online platform.

Sign up as a school, parish, with a group of friends or you can set your own pace as an individual, with the option to walk for one day, one week or spread it out over the month of July, coinciding with St Ignatius Day on 31 July. 

St Ignatius himself described the ideal leader as living with "one foot raised" - moving always into new lands and new cultures, ready to step forward and respond to human need and suffering in the world. 

Your participation in One Foot Raised can provide hope and opportunity to communities in desperate need. You’ll be walking in solidarity with the vulnerable communities we serve, who walk great distances to access education, water and healthcare.

All proceeds from One Foot Raised go directly towards supporting at-risk communities in over 10 countries in Asia and Africa, including Cambodia, Timor-Leste, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malawi and more.  

Every dollar you raise can make an enormous difference:

- $100 can provide a week’s supply of food and water for a refugee family.

- $250 can fund a child’s school fees in a village for one year.

Set your goal for a walking distance that works for you, get ready to blaze your own trail and help change lives by walking with the marginalised!

It’s easy to sign up, take on the One Foot Raised challenge now.
