  3. More than 700 hospitals built and/or managed by the AKDN. More than 200 schools built and managed by AKS. More than 40,000 Early Childhood Development Centers built and managed by the AKDN, and much, much more. The majority of this work is done in poor, 3rd world countries.

    “I am unsure where to begin to describe this great citizen of the world.
    Aga Khan the humanist, the peace-builder, the democrat, the philanthropist or an esteemed ambassador between civilizations.
    His Highness the Aga Khan is a tireless humanist whose views and beliefs are employed for the service of people and in the true expression of humanity.”

    – Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s President

    He will forever be missed and his contributions forever cherished.
