Aga Khan Foundation USA
The Aga Khan Foundation is different. We don’t just provide services or goods. We dedicate ourselves to partnering with communities to improve their quality of life. For over 50 years, we have worked in some of the most remote, hard-to-reach parts of Asia and Africa. As a member of the Aga Khan Development Network, one of the world’s largest development organizations, we make long-term investments, from early childhood education to infrastructure. We build hospitals and schools. We work with people to serve their community and build their local economy. Our work impacts tens of millions in over 30 countries every year. How do we do this? Through partnerships with people, businesses, local organizations, and governments. Our economic, social, and cultural investments ensure this commitment for generations to come. Our work is driven by a firm belief in our shared humanity. The Aga Khan Foundation partners with communities around the world to build better futures together. Prosperity for all comes from harnessing the best from people of all walks of life. We believe that communities and societies are stronger when they are built on the shared vision of people from all backgrounds. We are stronger together, and in a world where differences and conflicts divide, now is the time to build a better future together. Join us.
