Welcome to the Marche des entreprises
What is the Marche des entreprises?
The Marche des entreprises is an inter-company charity challenge run by Terre des Hommes Suisse. The idea is simple: walk as many kilometres as you can. Every kilometre is turned into a donation supporting the work of Terre des Hommes Suisse for children’s rights.
This mobile and web app lets you follow your progress, record your walks and take on the challenge alongside your colleagues.
How does it work?
1. Walk
Record your walking sessions, whether on your lunch break, on the way to work or on a weekend stroll.
2. Build up kilometres
Your kilometres are added to your colleagues’ to reach your company’s collective target.
3. Support a good cause
Every kilometre walked contributes to the work of Terre des Hommes Suisse protecting children around the world.

Finding your way around the app
The bar at the bottom of the screen holds four pages, on either side of the central button:
| Tab | What you find there |
|---|---|
| Home | Your totals, your progress and what your colleagues have been doing |
| Sessions | Your session history and your badges |
| Start | The central button: it starts a session, and reads “In progress” while you walk |
| Leaderboard | The leaderboards for your company, your teams and between companies |
| Actions | What you are walking for: the projects Terre des Hommes Suisse supports |
Profile is not in this bar: it opens from the icon at the top right of the home screen. That is where you manage your account, your team and your preferences.
The Actions screen
This tab is a reminder of what your kilometres are for. It shows the work Terre des Hommes Suisse does for children’s rights, and what your participation supports.
It is also what to show a colleague who is still hesitating to sign up.
