Ms. Chidzidzingo is a farmer in a drought-prone village along the coast of Kenya. Toiling the parched land is tiring and unprofitable, creating a scarcity of food and resources.
The Foundation and its sister Aga Khan Development Network agencies have been experimenting with, and implementing, innovative solutions to development challenges for over 40 years. Our overriding goal is to assist in the struggle against hunger, disease, illiteracy, ignorance and social exclusion. Central to these efforts are community-based development approaches in which local organizations identify, prioritize and implement projects with the Foundation’s assistance.

The Foundation extends a helping hand to communities and individuals so they may live with dignity and hope. Take a glimpse at our projects to see the impact your contribution makes on saving lives, educating children and helping families to lift themselves out of poverty.
