Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On Sunday 19th July, Team PMP-Dental will be walking 10 kilometres at Partnership Walk & Run 2009 to be held at Gloucester Green, Regents Park, London.
By walking this distance, we will be raising sponsorship monies for the Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom) and will be taking steps to build a brighter future for disadvantaged communities in developing countries.
Partnership Walk & Run 2006 raised in excess of £400,000 and had over 1,000 participants.
AKF is a non-denominational, international development agency established in 1967 by His Highness the Aga Khan. Its mission is to develop and promote creative solutions to problems that impede social development, primarily in Asia and East Africa.
In every undertaking, the AKF's overriding goal is to assist in the struggle against hunger, disease, illiteracy, ignorance and social exclusion. Central to all these efforts have been inclusive, community-based development approaches, in which local organisations identify, prioritise and implement projects with the Foundation's assistance. Within this ethos, AKF focuses on five major areas: rural development, health, education, civil society and the environment.
All funds raised through this year's event will go directly to support the following three AKF projects:
* Environmental Health Improvement Programme (GEHIP) in Gujarat
* Early Childhood Development Programme- "Jailoo" Kindergartens in the Kyrgyz Replublic
* Rice Farming Yield Improvement Programme in Madagascar
For further information on these three projects please visit www.akdn.org/akf
The overheads of AKF are funded by His Highness the Aga Khan and from endowment income. All monies raised therefore go to fund the programmes of the AKF.
These are great projects, so please give whatever you can to help: any donation - large or small - will help AKF with its fantastic work.
