Maidenhead woman Victoria Love joined leading poverty charity CARE International this week to bring a developing world issue to the heart of London. Victoria joined female supporters on the banks of the Thames, weighed down with buckets and jerry cans, to collect water. The gesture aimed to raise awareness of CARE’s ‘Walk in her shoes’ initiative.

People from across the UK are signing up to ‘walk in her shoes’, an initiative from leading aid and development agency CARE International UK. The fundraising campaign is asking women to experience, for just a week, a taste of the harsh realities facing women in developing countries where water and food are not as easily available.

Now in its third years, the CARE London to Brighton Cycle Challenge will take place on Saturday 12th May 2012. The challenge will raise vital funds for leading international aid and development agency CARE International. In the last year, we worked in 84 countries, supporting 1015 poverty-fighting projects that reached more than 122 million people.
