On Sunday 19^th July, Reyyah Latif, aged 2 will be walking 10 kilometres at the Partnership Walk & Run 2009 to be held at Gloucester Green, Regent’s Park, London.  The remainder of the CES team, who are marginally older (at least 25 years!), but less fit will be trying to follow behind. 

By walking this distance we will be raising sponsorship monies for the Aga Khan Foundation and will be taking steps to build a brighter future for disadvantaged communities in developing countries.  

Please support Reyyah and her entourage in this cause.  Any donation however small (or big!) is appreciated and helps AKF fulfill their vision, mission, aims, objectives, outcomes and outputs!

Thanks.

Some AKF Facts:

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

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 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 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 Kyrgyz Republic 

·    Environmental Health Improvement Programme in Gujarat   

·    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 AKF 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.
