INTRODUCTION
You’re one step closer to make a difference!
Partnership Walk & Run took place on Sunday 19th July 2009 in Gloucester Green, Regent's Park, London. The event was very successful and there were over 1,500 people who participated. See photos!
The 10 km Partnership Walk & Run is an initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom), organised by its network of volunteers across the United Kingdom.
The sponsored walk & run seeks to raise awareness and funds for the work of the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), thereby developing sustainable solutions to long-term problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy and poor health.
The event is part of the global Partnerships in Action initiative.
This year’s theme “Make a difference with every step” highlights AKF's work in health, education and rural development.
Funds raised, from this year’s event, will directly support the following three projects:
- Environmental Health Improvement Programme in Gujarat
- Early Childhood Development Programme - “Jailoo” Kindergartens in the Kyrgyz Republic
- Rice Farming Yield Improvement Programme in Madagascar (APRA-GIR) in Madagascar
The overheads of AKF are funded by His Highness the Aga Khan and from endowment income. All monies raised therefore go directly to these projects.
