Proper Walk

The Proper Walk is the largest fundraiser for the Makindu Children’s Program. This “Adventure for a Cause” was created by Michael Farley, a MCP board member and former Peace Corps volunteer who was stationed in Makindu, Kenya.

In Kenya, to take a proper walk is to walk many miles over many days. The Proper Walk occurs every other year (the next Walk will be in 2012) taking place in the Northern Frontier District of Kenya and covers between 150-200 miles in 10 days. In addition to raising money for MCP, the Walk is a platform to educate people about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its effect on the vulnerable children of Sub-Sahara Africa.  Five Walks have been completed, raising over $400,000 for MCP with over 600 miles covered by the intrepid Walkers.
