Our Relationship with AKDNThe Foundation is a member of the Aga Khan Development Network, one of the world’s leading poverty solutions networks.

Aga Khan Development Network

AKDN builds quality institutions – clinics, banks and universities – that anchor communities and provide them opportunities to unlock their promise.

Approach to Our Work We make long-term investments in

education, health, stable livelihoods, reliable markets, and financial inclusion. These opportunities help people shape their own future. 

We invest in hospitals, universities, academies, micro-finance banks and other permanent institutions to improve the quality of life so societies may thrive.

We invest in local leadership and organizations to build a robust civil society that promotes good governance and social services, encourages local philanthropy,and protects marginalized groups.

The cycle of poverty is enormously complex, but we see success when we integrate the efforts of organizations from all sectors and across regions of the world.

Our CommitmentMeaningful change takes time, which is why we invest in the long-term. We’ve been working with communities across Africa and Asia for decades – and we will continue to advance positive change that lasts for generations to come.
