The Aga Khan Foundation is a leading global development organisation working to tackle the root causes of poverty. For more than 50 years, AKF have helped create strong community institutions that support sustainable, locally-driven initiatives to improve the lives of millions of people. Working alongside marginalised communities in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, AKF’s initiatives aim to bring about transformative and long-lasting improvements to quality of life. AKF works to ensure infants have the best possible start in life; families are healthy and well-nourished; children can go to a good school and grow to fulfil their potential; adults have access to jobs or can start their own businesses; women and girls are not limited in their choices or opportunities; all voices are heard and valued in strong, local organisations; and communities are able to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate. Through our partnerships with local communities, civil society and business as well as governments and international aid agencies we are working to build a future where we all thrive together.
