Thank you for visiting my first ever Justgiving fundraising page.

I walked the whole 10km at Partnership Walk and Run at Regent's Park on Sunday July 19th to help improve the lives of children who are not as lucky as me.  The money I raise will help these children attend nursery schools, have clean and safe water to drink and wash in, and will help families have more rice to eat. 

Please sponsor me so that I can raise money for these AKF projects and help change the lives of other children less fortunate than I am.

Thank you.

About Partnership Walk and Run and the Aga Khan Foundation

Partnership Walk & Run 2009 will be held at Green, Regent’s Park, . 

Partnership Walk & Run 2006 raised in excess of £400,000, and had over 1,000 participants. 

The Aga Khan Foundation (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 South and Central Asia and .

In every undertaking, 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 Aga Khan Foundation’s assistance. Within this ethos, AKF focuses on four selected issues: health, education, rural development and the strengthening of civil society.

 Funds raised from this year’s event will go directly to support the following three AKF projects: 

 ·   Early Childhood Development Programme - “Jailoo” Kindergartens in the  

·    Environmental Health Improvement Programme in   

·    Rice Farming Yield Improvement Programme in  Madagascar

 For further information on these three programmes please visit www.partnershipsinaction.org.uk/walkrunmyimpactintro.html  

 

The overheads of the Aga Khan Foundation are funded by His Highness the Aga Khan and from endowment income. All monies raised therefore go directly towards funding AKF’s programmes.

These projects have made a real difference to people’s lives, so please give what you can. Any donation – large or small – will help AKF to continue its fantastic work.
