CHICAGO: Over 2,400 walked to end global poverty in the 17th annual Partnership Walk at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago on September 18.
The Chicago Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A (AKF USA) to raise awareness and funds that reduce poverty, hunger, illiteracy and poor health in Africa and Asia.
Chicago’s 2011 Walk raised over $400,000. All the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects sponsored by the Foundation; not a cent is spent on administration. The Walk had lively entertainment and activities for all ages celebrating the diversity of world cultures. It also attracted many high-profile guests, civic leaders and local media personalities.
