This January, join the Virtual Step Over Hunger Challenge and turn your daily steps into life-changing support for children in Africa. The challenge is designed to help you build healthy habits while raising vital funds to provide school meals for children in need, inshaAllah.
An average child in parts of Africa walks around 10,000 steps every day just to get to and from school. Through this challenge, we aim to walk that distance together — while ensuring those children have the meals they need to learn and thrive.
How the Steps Work
We understand that everyone has different fitness levels. That’s why this challenge is flexible and inclusive:
-
You set your own daily step target
-
If you normally walk 2,000 steps a day, you might start with a goal of 4,000 steps
-
You can increase your target gradually each week
-
By the end of the challenge, you may reach 10,000 steps per day, matching the distance many children walk daily to access education
The aim is progress, consistency, and intention — not pressure.
