Our Plan
The A G Khan Foundation was established in 2018 as an informal entity to help the people of Barazai village, District Attock, Punjab, Pakistan. In 2021, it was incorporated as a non-profit, non-political, non-governmental and non-religious organization in the State of California, USA.
AGKF plans to operate in the rural areas of Pakistan and strives to pull the desperately poor out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Education and health are extremely critical to the well-being of society. Rural areas face severe barriers in these two areas due to their remoteness, lack of transportation, lack of basic infrastructure, dire poverty levels, lack of vocational skills and meaningful work, and shortage of basic resources. Additionally, there is an extreme shortage of educational and healthcare professionals to serve these communities. The basic aim of the Foundation is to further the common good and general welfare of the community through promotion and availability of quality education and access to healthcare.
