Glimpse of the City

In 1996, Atlanta became the second city to host a Partnership Walk and more than a decade later, the tradition proudly continues. This year’s Partnership Walk attracted thousands of partcipants to help fight global poverty.

Through the years, Partnership Walks have become known for the Village in Action component. The Village in Action displays a wide range of interactive exhibits and educational games that depict the work of the Foundation. In the Village in Action families to learn about the problems faced by people living in poor communities around the world. This well-established tradition began in Atlanta, has been replicated in other Walk cities, and continues to attract people to Walk cities nationwide, year after year.
