The Walk Against Want is an annual event held in support of Oxfam Australia (formerly Community Aid Abroad), an independent organisation that works with communities in 27 countries on development projects, humanitarian relief efforts, and advocacy campaigns.
Several volunteer-run events in 2007 have diversified the Walk's original premise, to include greater distances, water-carrying or balancing challenges, and other development-focused activities, with the objective of raising awareness at the same time as generating funds for development projects.
Walks ranging from 5km to 45km in distance are held in many locations around Australia (over 60 in 2005, and around 100 in 2006).
[2] Over the past 40 years, more than 20,000 people have participated in Walk Against Want events and have generated more than $10 million in funds for community development projects.
