Join Aga Khan Foundation, USA & Greater Houston Area Volunteers for PartnershipsInAction Walk/Run at Sam Houston Park

HOUSTON, TEXAS – On Saturday, November 15, 2014, around 7,000 participants will race to end global poverty in the annual Houston Partnership Walk at Sam Houston Park. The Houston Partnership Walk/Run 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.

Last year’s event raised $1.4 million for AKF programs to reduce poverty. 100% of the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects supported by the Foundation; not a cent is spent on administration.

The event is a day of fun for the whole family and one that Houstonians look forward to every year. The Walk features lively entertainment and activities for all ages celebrating a rich diversity of cultures. One of the most inspiring features of Partnership Walk is the Village in Action, where participants can enjoy interactive exhibits spotlighting the Foundation’s practical solutions for alleviating poverty from Afghanistan to Zanzibar.

To register, view the Walk / Run Day schedule, learn more about the event, volunteer, become a sponsor or make a donation, visit www.partnershipsinaction.org/houston.
