The AKDN has had a longstanding presence in Pakistan, going back to 1905 when the first Aga Khan School was established in Gwadar, Balochistan. Today, through the 160 schools of the Aga Khan Education Services and through the teacher training and school improvement programmes of the Aga Khan University and the Aga Khan Foundation, it has reached tens of thousands of teachers and millions of students. It has also provided the nation with thousands of doctors, nurses and midwives. At the same time, it has worked to preserve Pakistan’s rich heritage by restoring over 170 historic settlements, forts, houses and monuments, ranging from the Wazir Khan Mosque Complex in Lahore to the Khaplu Village and Palace in Baltistan.
