What is the Partnership Walk?
Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. (AKF USA) and its volunteers in communities across America to raise funds and awareness to help communities in some of the poorest areas of Africa and Asia create long-term solutions to poverty.
Since 1995, 40 Walks have been held in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles, attracting 239,000 participants and raising $28 million. In 2007, 27,500 Walkers in 5 cities raised $2 million to bring a spark of hope to vulnerable families in Africa and Asia. 100% of the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects supported by the Foundation. Partnership Walk is a public event to raise awareness about how people can make a difference in ending global poverty. It promotes partnerships among Americans and people in the developing world.
