His Late Highness Aga Khan IV
A world where every individual — empowered with skills, knowledge, and compassion — becomes a source of transformation for their family, their community, and future generations, while holding others by the hand and guiding them forward through learning and shared growth.
At the heart of everything we do lies a simple yet powerful truth: lasting change happens when communities come together with shared purpose and determination. Our foundation exists to empower underserved communities by providing the spark — equipping individuals with hand and mind skills through access to education, healthcare, digital literacy, and sustainable livelihoods.
We are committed to building ethical, inclusive, and resilient societies where every person, regardless of background, can grow with dignity, contribute with purpose, thrive through opportunity, and hold and lead others by the hand to teach and uplift in return. We believe in nurturing the roots — human potential, values, and local capacity — so that the fruits of progress, unity, and lasting impact grow naturally.
Every great organization begins with a spark—a moment when someone sees a problem and refuses to accept it as unchangeable. Our foundation was founded on exactly that kind of conviction. Born from the belief that systematic change is possible, our journey has been one of continuous learning, growth, and deepening commitment to our mission.
