The biggest walk took place in Burkina Faso, where some 20,000 participants gathered in Ouagadougou for an event organised by first lady Chantal Compaore. The smallest walk counted just one participant in New Zealand, where TNT Country Director Ruud Smeets braved stormy weather on his own, in the name of the fight against hunger.

The Walk the World event is organised by TNT, and two other global private sector partners of WFP; Unilever and DSM. “Walk the World comes at a time of unprecedented challenge for the hungry and poor,” Josette Sheeran, Executive Director of WFP, said. “Children are suffering because food prices are still high in many developing countries, and the global financial crisis is now hitting family incomes hard.”

- 250,000 participants
- 280 locations in 70 countries
- Over US$1 million raised
- 20,000 children fed and educated for a year
Together, we raised over US$1 million for the WFP which will be used to provide thousands of hungry children with school meals which will encourage them to attend school. Relentless hikes in food prices – a ‘silent tsunami’ which affect millions of the poor and hungry – in addition to the recent natural disasters in Myanmar and China made this year’s Walk more important than ever.
