For almost 60 years, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) has partnered with local communities to improve quality of life in some of the most remote, resource-constrained parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Learn more about where we work.
Driven by our belief in our shared humanity, we work for the common good of all people, regardless of background or beliefs. AKF works across seven interconnected thematic areas essential for addressing the root causes of poverty. We work with communities to identify and prioritize needs and then test and refine solutions that are relevant, feasible, and sustainable.
As a member of the Aga Khan Development Network, one of the world’s largest development organizations, we make long-term investments, from early childhood education to infrastructure. We build hospitals and schools. We work with people to serve their community and build their local economy.
AKF USA supports this work by activating volunteers, raising funds, and building connections with funding and implementing partners.
