Planting Every Step Campaign


Planting Every Step is a collective step challenge designed to raise funds for the education and care of vulnerable children in Nigeria.
Together, we will take a symbolic walk from the UK to Nigeria covering the distance from London Heathrow (LHR) to Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport (LOS). We are walking during the National Walking Month of May 2026.

Every step taken becomes a seed planted
a seed of hope, a seed of opportunity, a seed for a child’s future.

Total distance: 3,100 miles

Total steps: 6.2 million

FUNDRAISING GOAL: £15,374

We will award prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the highest number of steps.

Every movement counts, walking, running, shopping, cleaning, exercising.
If your device tracks steps, they all go towards the mission.

Planters are welcome to sponsor themselves, form teams, or support one another as part of a group effort.

This campaign is more than a challenge it is a movement.We are building a connected network across the diaspora, strengthening our shared roots and coming together to create a future where children in Nigeria can flourish.
