Thank you everyone for your generous support.
On Sunday 19th July, I completed the10 kilometres at Partnership Walk & Run 2009 held at Gloucester Green, Regent’s Park, London.
The sponsorship monies were raised for the Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom). 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. Further details are available on www.akdn.org/akf All funds raised from this year’s event will go directly to support the following three AKF projects:
Environmental Health Improvement Programme (GEHIP) in Gujarat, India
Early Childhood Development Programme - “Jailoo” Kindergartens in the Kyrgyz Republic
Rice Farming Yield Improvement Programme in Madagascar
For further information on these three projects please visit www.partnershipsinaction.org.uk 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. Many thanks for your support.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
