    Goals / Remit

    The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) brings together human, financial and technical resources to address some of the challenges faced by the poorest and most marginalised communities in the world. Special emphasis is placed on investing in human potential, expanding opportunity and improving the overall quality of life, especially for women and girls. It works primarily in six areas: Agriculture and Food Security; Economic Inclusion; Education; Early Childhood Development; Health and Nutrition; and Civil Society.

    AKF is part of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) which includes a broad range of organisations including from the private sector, education and health services, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and others. AKDN makes long-term investments in areas like education, health, stable livelihoods, reliable markets, and financial inclusion. With the opportunity that this provides people shape their own future, build their own enterprises and become self-reliant.
