"Make a difference with every step"....
...Well the Partnership Walk & Run is now officially over. A big thank you to all the sponsors for contributing to this great cause. The 10 km walk was successfully completed today Sunday, 19th July 2009. To learn more about the AKF please visit the link at the bottom of this page.
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. This year I will be taking part by walking 10 km to raise money for this worthwhile cause.
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.
This year's theme "Make a difference with every step" highlights the Aga Khan Foundation'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.

How to sponsor me ;-)
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.
So please sponsor me now (whatever amount you can afford) and let's make a difference!
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, and thank you to those who have already sponsored me. ;0)
