Shelter City Nijmegen: Walk in solidarity with human rights defenders

Shelter City Nijmegen: Walk in solidarity with human rights defenders

Shelter City Nijmegen partner, Bureau Wijland, invites you to join the 5th edition of the Solidarity Walk taking place on 6 July 2024.

By participating in the solidarity walk, you can show your support to Shelter City Nijmegen guests for their work and human rights causes. This year, proceeds from the walk will go towards building and supporting water storage and wells in the tropical rainforest of the Congo Basin, a cause that the recent Shelter City Nijmegen guest, Lobe from Cameroon, is working on.

The walk consists of six courses with Land van Ooij as the starting point. The distances are 5, 10, 16, 20, 25, and 30 km. On this day, you can start the walk all morning from Land van Ooij at Dijkgraaf van Wijckweg 101, Nijmegen between 7.00 am – 12.00 pm.

Conditions for participation in the walk:

• Participation fee for the walk is 10 euros to cover organisational costs and catering (can be paid on the day in cash or via card)
• Student discount: A participation fee of 5 euros applies to students
• Donation according to your means; all proceeds will go towards supporting projects of Shelter City Nijmegen guests. This may also be paid on the day or in advance to NL88 ABNA 0518 4551 49 (Stichting Wijland 2040) with reference: Solidarity Walk 2024 + name of participant

We hope to see you there!

Are you not from the Nijmegen region or do you want to walk a different route but still support former Shelter City Nijmegen guests? Walk in your own area and make a donation!
