The Aga Khan Foundation has pledged $100 million (Dh367 million) over the next five years to support the UAE’s global humanitarian effort to combat childhood hunger. The commitment was announced during a Suhoor gathering in Dubai linked to the Edge of Life campaign, a major initiative launched during Ramadan to help rescue five million children from malnutrition worldwide. The Aga Khan Foundation’s contribution represents one of the largest commitments so far to the campaign and underscores the growing international support behind the UAE-led humanitarian drive. “Malnutrition remains one of the greatest barriers to human development, undermining the health, potential, and dignity of millions of children and families,” Prince Rahim Aga Khan V said in a statement. “Addressing this challenge requires sustained commitment and collective action across sectors and societies.”
