Walk a Mile with a Refugee
An opportunity to connect with refugees, hear their stories and share in their experiences.
A wide range of refugees are constantly arriving in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
In our multicultural environment they blend in very well. They are invisible and largely unknown to us. So, here’s a great opportunity to meet some of these brave people and hear their back stories.
New Zealand Business Association (NZBA) in partnership with Christchurch City Council, and Active Canterbury, are reaching out to the wider community of Aotearoa to Walk a Mile with a Refugee.
Our vision is to connect refugees within communities, building empathy and understanding. To gain inspiration from their stories and learn how we can help one another.
Money raised will help our refugee and migrant support service and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to respond to refugee emergencies by providing displaced communities with ongoing assistance and protection. All items donated will be given directly to recent refugee families in Aotearoa.
