Walkathon 2016 Route

African Heritage Walkathon:  Every year, in the African spirit of utu (humaneness), we hold the competitive African Heritage Walkathon to benefit an individual who is fighting daunting health challenges, or a group that is contributing towards the health and well-being of others.

Through the walkathon, the African Heritage also seeks to be a point of contact and engagement between the African community and Baltimore businesses, schools, charities and local government.

2016 Beneficiary:  Walk for Munene Mwangi & family.
Munene is a stroke survivor on long-term care at Genesis Nursing Home since 2015. He has been a generous member of the community. We walk for him and his family's well-being as he fights for his life.

African Heritage Creative Skills Trade Fair:  The African Heritage is working its inaugural month-long creative skills trade fair aimed at showcasing the best of Africa’s creative trades. This will include the introduction and transfer of skills between Africans and American artists and artisans. The fair will benefit Americans who will learn new skills practiced in Africa, with which they can run sustainable small businesses.
