Virtual Journey to Zambia from USA to Zambia

Keep fit while raising funds towards our Young Leaders Programme! Join us by walking, running, rowing or cycling, indoors or outside, collect your miles on Strava and share them with us in the Strava Virtual Journey club.

Our Moon's Virtual Journey to Zambia (1)
17 October 2026 – 17 December 2026Sat 17 Oct, 00:00 → Thu 17 Dec, 23:59Zambia

Collectively, we have two months to travel 13,255 miles starting on 17 October and ending on 17 December. We virtually travel down through the US, passing through Duke where Cathy is studying, through Central America and into South America. From there, we cross the Atlantic to the west coast of Africa through to the Democratic Republic of Congo and into Zambia. 

When we reach milestones, we will share on social media.

You can join us at any time during the journey. There will be prizes for the cyclist and the runner/walker who clocks up the most miles in both categories and for the person who raises the most funds. 

You can register to join the virtual journey in three ways:

  1. If you have a Zambian mobile money account, it costs k100 to join. Please send your donation to Our Moon Zambia's mobile money account: +0765822401. 

  2. If you are based in the US, then you can register with Global Giving here.  We suggest a donation of $10 for students and $20 for people who are working. 
  3. If you are in the UK or part of the Eurozone, then you can register through Enthuse and pay a fee of £20 or #20 using this link. 

All money raised will go directly towards supporting our Young Leaders at our residential learning centre, in their internships and into university as well as once they become alumni. 

Signing up to Strava

So that we can collect your miles, you will need to sign up to the Strava App. You will need to record your mileage each time you go for a cycle ride, run, walk or on a running or rowing machine at the gym. You can do this by downloading the app on your phone, register for an account and link your account to club: Our Moon's Virtual Journey. 

If you don't remember to record your mileage, you can add it later manually in the app by pressing the plus sign on your screen.

Look out for our progress every few days on social media. Thank you for joining us!
