Health is the cornerstone of a full, long life, and the foundation of a
productive, prosperous nation. The 1999 Partnership Walk theme focuses
on this essential human need - Today's Health, Tomorrow's Wealth.
By participating and contributing funds at the Partnership Walk, you support AKF USA health programs that promote
safe motherhood,
immunization,
health education and
effective health care systems. These programs:
- Protect children from disabling and life-threatening disease
- Promote children's physical and mental development
- Create self-help programs that help families take better care of their health needs
- Help national health care systems become more effective and efficient
For example, health programs in villages in India's Gujarat State have helped improve a mother's chance of safe childbirth. They have achieved a 96% immunization rate for children aged 1 to 5 years, significantly improving their protection from preventable diseases.
