MOVE IT - Me Neke
Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Move It - Go the Distance
Go the distance and stand in solidarity with people displaced by climate emergencies. Around the world, families flee floods, droughts, and disasters - walking for days with only what they can carry, traveling long distances for water, or evacuating to safety.
Through this challenge, reflect on the Catholic social teaching principle of Participation - ensuring displaced communities can rebuild their lives with dignity.
Challenge Ideas:
Endurance Events: 24-hour relay walk, run, swim, or cycle - get sponsored per lap or distance covered
Carrying Challenges: Carry water buckets or loaded backpacks continuously, simulating displacement or water collection
Distance Challenges: Track all movement over 24 hours with a pedometer, or cover specific distances representing journeys to safety
As You Move, Reflect:
What would you carry if forced to flee your home?
How does climate change displace communities?
How can we support people rebuilding after disaster?
Your fundraising helps climate-vulnerable communities prepare for emergencies and build resilience through the He Oranga Taurikura programme.
