THE EVENT: On Sunday, June 6, 2010, Montreal residents will join Canadians in cities across Canada in the World Partnership Walk, Canada’s largest annual event to increase awareness and raise funds to help fight global poverty.
The Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) and its national network of volunteers. AKFC is a not-for-profit development agency that supports sustainable and cost-effective development in the poorest countries. The Walk brings together Canadians from every background to support and learn about programs that help individuals and communities in Asia and Africa rise from poverty. All of the funds raised by the Walk (100%) go to international development initiatives. Administrative costs are covered separately.
