Vancouver Sun Newspaper writes an Editorial asking people to walk for Aga Khan Foundation’s World Partnership Walk

Editorial: Going for a walk can help raise awareness of global poverty‘Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day,” runs the old proverb. “Show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Those wise words are something the Aga Khan Foundation has taken to heart, as its development initiatives are designed to foster self-sufficiency. The initiatives, which operate in more than a dozen low-income countries, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Egypt, Mozambique, Mali and Uganda, focus specifically on revitalizing rural economies, ensuring clean water and sanitation, strengthening community-based organizations, and educating boys and girls and men and women.

  1. i have walked the walk as long as my cardiac health allowed,but now i just can not make 10km.but nonetheless i have made the donation in an incresing way,thanks alhamdaullilah.Obviously this is a small initiative and there are projects worldwide to remove poverty from the face of the plant,but if most of us made an effort,however modest,most of us would have a fish to catch and eat,we wish them success .
