Overview
Journey With___ is ACMI's 2026 fundraising campaign, with the aim of raising S$1,000,000 to support our migrant workers in Singapore, by funding essential programmes and services that enable us to be family to our migrant brothers and sisters in Singapore. These include:
  • Providing casework support and financial assistance to migrants in crisis
  • Running skills development courses to equip migrants with practical skills
  • Creating opportunities for community building and integration
Anchored by a 40-day Camino pilgrimage across northern Spain, the campaign invites donors and participants to walk in solidarity with the migrants among us — because life's not meant to go it alone.
ACMI (Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People) is a Singapore-based Catholic organisation founded on 15 June 1998. ACMI's mission is to welcome, protect, integrate, and enrich all migrants in Singapore — treating every migrant as family, with dignity and without prejudice.
Camino is a Spanish word meaning a road, path, track, or journey. It is most famously associated with the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James), a network of pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Alex will be walking the Camino del Norte, the northern coastal route spanning 827km.
The Camino Challenge runs from 2 September to 13 October 2026 (40 days). Participants sign up for one or more days and complete the assigned distance for that day — here in Singapore, at their own pace, individually or as a team. Each day's distance mirrors the segment of the Camino being walked in Spain that same day.
Alex is the ACMI pilgrim who will walk the full 827km Camino del Norte from 2 September to 13 October 2026, as a spiritual act of solidarity with ACMI's migrant beneficiaries, across 40 days. Alex's daily journey maps directly to the distances assigned to Camino Challenge participants in Singapore.
