Dear CanBiotech Member,
As Managing Partner of CanBiotech, I would like to invite your company to be part of the solution to global poverty. CanBiotech is a corporate sponsor of Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC). As one of many annual corporate supporters, we have found that the work of AKFC in the areas of health care, education, rural development and the strengthening of civil society to be a uniquely successful example of what Canadians achieve overseas.
AKFC’s approach is unique. It makes a long-term commitment to creating opportunities for families and communities living in some of the poorest parts of the world to become self-reliant. Through the annual World Partnership Walk, AKFC raises awareness and funds that go directly to programs in Asia and Africa. Administrative costs are covered by the founder, so the full amount of each contribution can be invested in lasting and effective solutions to poverty. Your support allows AKFC to seek additional funds from other major donors, like the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). In this way, the impact of your contribution is multiplied.
The Walk, now in its 23rd year, is the longest running event of its kind in aid of global development. Last year, it attracted 37,000 Canadian participants and the support of over 1000 companies. Together, we raised an unprecedented $4.8 million, bringing true meaning to the “partnership” between Canadians and impoverished communities.
We at CanBiotech are proud to be associated with AKFC and recognize the importance of demonstrating global citizenship. I invite you to join us in helping to ensure that Canada remains on the forefront of development on the international stage, by becoming a corporate supporter of the World Partnership Walk.
We will be contacting you through the next two months to encourage you to participate as a corporate sponsor. In the interim, please visit these websites for more information: http://www.worldpartnershipwalk.com/en/sponsors/become.shtml | www.akfc.ca
In a world that grows smaller and more interdependent every year, this is an opportunity for your company to show its commitment, on a global scale, to helping those less fortunate than us.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Damani
Managing Partner, CanBiotech
