ABOUT WALK FOR AFFORDABLE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
 
 
 
The Walk for Affordable Education is set to take place on April 21, 2025, bringing together passionate individuals and organizations committed to making quality education accessible for all. This 2500 km walk is more than just a fitness event—it is a powerful movement aimed at raising ₦10,000,000 to support 10 underfunded schools that charge ₦30,000 or less per term. With the growing financial constraints on schools, many children face learning difficulties due to inadequate facilities, outdated materials, and underpaid teachers. Through this initiative, Farm4Fam seeks to bridge the gap by ensuring these schools receive the funding they need to improve learning conditions.
 
 
Participants in the walk will not only be advocating for education but also contributing directly to the cause. The event will feature various engagement points where donors and sponsors can interact with the communities benefiting from their support. With each step, we hope to raise awareness about the urgent need for better educational funding and encourage more people to invest in the future of Nigerian children. Funds raised will go towards purchasing essential learning materials, improving classroom infrastructure, and supporting teachers to create a more conducive learning environment.
 
 
Donors who support the Walk for Affordable Education will gain more than just the satisfaction of giving back—they will become part of a legacy that transforms lives. Corporate sponsors will receive brand visibility through media coverage, event banners, and Farm4Fam’s online platforms, showcasing their commitment to social responsibility. Individual donors will receive recognition in our impact reports, newsletters, and donor appreciation events, ensuring they see firsthand the difference their contributions make. Most importantly, every donor will be part of a movement that empowers children, giving them the education they deserve and the opportunity to build a better future. Together, we can make quality education a reality for all.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.

The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
