His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V made his first official visit to Kenya this week at the invitation of President William Ruto. This is Prince Rahim's first state visit to Kenya since he became the 50th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims in February. The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is one of Kenya's largest private employers, with over 14,000 Kenyan staff. It reaches millions through its work in education, health, economic development and environmental stewardship. Among the key areas of focus for the AKDN is climate resilience, where it has planted more than 12 million trees across Kenya and is advancing a wide-ranging agenda, including the Indian Ocean Coastal Regeneration Initiative, which is restoring marine ecosystems, regenerating adjacent farmland, and strengthening the resilience of coastal communities.
