AGA KHAN FOUNDATION

The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) is a leading global development organisation working to tackle the root causes of poverty.

For more than 50 years, we have helped create strong community institutions that support sustainable, locally-driven initiatives to improve the lives of millions of people.

Rooted in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, our staff have unique insights into the complex challenges people face today as well as the opportunities for tomorrow. By combining local knowledge with global best practices, we strive to bring about transformative and long-lasting improvements to quality of life. Taking a generational approach, AKF has built the trust required to do this work even in the most fragile contexts.

Our early childhood development services reach over 2.2 million children.

We operate in 18 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

We reach over six million people through the support of 26,000 civil society organisations.

Singular inputs alone will not do the job – not in the time available, not across the wide spectrum of needs. But if we can work simultaneously and synergistically on several fronts, then progress in one area will spur progress in other areas. The whole can be greater than the sum of its parts.
