Thank you for visiting our team’s Partnership Walk & Run 2011 fundraising page and helping us  raise money to re-build the homes of the thousands of people affected by the floods in Northern Pakistan. The money we raise will help us build over 1800 homes in the areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral (GBC), a northern and remote part of Pakistan.

 

Who we are and what we are doing:
We are walking the 2km special needs and seniors walk in Hyde Park on Sunday 10th July 2011.  We are a group of disabled and non disabled individuals who want to celebrate difference, promote hope and raise money to help the lives of others.  We want to show the 'ability' in dis'ability' by participating in the walk, and making a real and significant difference to the lives of individuals in Pakistan who have been affected by the floods

 

A little more about the Charity and where the funds will go

 

Every Step Counts! All the money we raise this year will support the Aga Khan Development Network’s (AKDN’s) post-flood housing reconstruction efforts in Northern Pakistan.

 

AKDN and its affiliate agencies have been delivering pioneering area development programmes in Pakistan for over 40 years. AKDN’s Pakistan-based agencies, such as the Aga Khan University, and its affiliates such as FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance were amongst the first organisations to deliver humanitarian relief to affected people when the floods struck.

 

AKDN is now committed to helping families displaced or made homeless by the floods to rebuild their homes and livelihoods. AKDN will work with local families to rebuild homes that are seismically resistant, thermally insulated and positioned on safe terrain.

 

All costs of this event are have been paid for by kind donations from the Ismaili community. This means that 100% of your sponsorship will go towards rebuilding homes for families in northern Pakistan.

 

Why not join us on our walk.  Simply go to www.partnershipsinaction.org.uk to register for what will be an exhilarating circuit in one of London’s most beautiful green spaces.
