ABOUT MOVE TO TRANSFORM LIVES CAMPAIGN
 
 
Join “Move to Transform Lives”, a global campaign by Aid Afghanistan for Education! Imagine a world where every child in Afghanistan has the chance to dream, learn and thrive. This campaign invites people everywhere to walk, run, bike, or move in any way they choose to bring hope and education to vulnerable children and girls in Afghanistan.
 
The campaign officially launches on September 11, 2025, and runs through December 31, 2025, aligning with the “Safer World Fund” matching campaign. Every step you take becomes a powerful statement against injustice and a stride toward opportunity. This isn’t just about fitness; it’s about making every movement count. With 100% of your donation, up to $1,000 matched, you can double your impact on the lives of Afghan students who have been denied education under Taliban rule.
 
Each participant will receive heartfelt stories of transformation from the children in our programs, showcasing the profound effect of your support in changing lives. Top fundraisers will also be invited to an exclusive virtual event to meet AAFE’s founder and hear firsthand from the students whose futures you’re helping shape.
 
Together, let’s create a wave of change that strengthens our global community and paves the way for a brighter future. We don’t offer t-shirts or medals; we instead offer something more lasting: the emotional reward of knowing you’ve helped a child dream again.
 
Join us, take action, and let’s move with purpose!

HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS
Join me in transforming lives in Afghanistan! I’m participating in the Move to Transform Lives campaign to raise funds for Aid Afghanistan for Education. Your donation will help enroll street- working children into school and provide online education for girls who are banned from attending school.

Imagine a classroom filled with eager learners, once hidden from hope, now illuminated by your generosity. Every dollar you give will be matched, doubling your impact and bringing us closer to breaking the cycle of poverty and illiteracy.

Together, we can give children and girls in Afghanistan the chance they deserve for a brighter future. Don’t wait – the children of Afghanistan need you now more than ever. Let’s move with purpose and make every step count!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.

The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

You can track your workouts by setting up your devices (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Health Connect By Android, Misfit, Strava), or download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?

You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
