Aga Khan Foundation

We work with communities to ensure tangible food security and good nutrition, resilient livelihoods from agriculture and livestock and regenerative natural resources management.

We partner with civil society organisations to increase their competency, legitimacy, accountability and sustainability. This helps to create resilient, pluralistic and values-based civil societies.

We assist communities to increase their resilience to climate change. We help to raise awareness, establish protective and climate-responsive infrastructure, enrich the natural environment, generate clean energy and catalyse eco-friendly businesses.

We seek to give children the best start in life, by influencing the contexts and environments in which they are growing. We work with families, policymakers, teachers, health workers and others to offer support from every angle.

We equip children and youth to interact effectively with the world and contribute to society. This involves addressing gender gaps, creating tools, strengthening teachers’ knowledge and enhancing educational systems.

Our work enables people to optimise their health and wellbeing and reach their full potential. We address the drivers of poor health, improving access to integrated health services. We also support nutrition and sanitation initiatives.

Our programmes centre on entrepreneurship and employment; skills development for men and women, with a focus on youth; investing in the future of work; and access to finance.
