Events like the World Partnership Walk help raise money and awareness for the fight against global poverty

Salima Habib knows first-hand what the face of poverty looks like and that gives her a unique perspective on the importance of events like the World Partnership Walk.
The World Partnership Walk is Canada’s largest annual event dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight global poverty. London’s 14th edition of the walk is being held on Sunday, June 6, at Springbank Gardens.
It was just a few years ago that Ms. Habib, who serves as convenor for the London walk, was traveling in Kenya when she came across a young girl who was looking to her for help. The experience is one that inspired Ms. Habib to take a more active role in the fight against global poverty.
