Supporting the Aga Khan Foundation USA
For over 50 years, the Aga Khan Foundation has partnered with communities in some of the most remote, hard-to-reach parts of Asia and Africa to build better futures together. In 2015, AEON donated US$ 1.5 million to the Foundation. The funds were used to build a new school in Tajikistan. With the Government of Tajikistan, Aga Khan Foundation has worked to make schools that stimulate children’s thinking so that they can assess things for themselves, learn how to work in groups, and think innovatively.
