NOTES
Golden
Jubilee of His Highness the Aga Khan
His Highness the Aga
Khan completed his 50th year as the 49th hereditary
Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims on 11th July 2007,
succeeding his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah.
The Aga Khan leads a community of 15 million Ismaili
Muslims living in some 25 countries around the world
and is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him and his family). In the Ismaili
tradition, the Imam’s Jubilee celebrations offer
occasions to launch new social, cultural and economic
development projects. In keeping with the ethics of
the faith, these projects aspire to improve the quality
of life for the most vulnerable in society. During
the Jubilee year, the Aga Khan is expected to travel
to a number of countries to meet with members of the
Ismaili community and visit projects of the AKDN.
He is also likely to announce the creation of new
development institutions and projects and the significant
expansion of existing ones.
The Aga Khan
Development Network
His Highness the Aga Khan is founder and Chairman
of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a group
of private, non-denominational development agencies
working to empower communities and individuals to
improve living conditions and opportunities, especially
in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and
the Middle East. The Network’s nine development
agencies focus on social, cultural and economic development
for all citizens, regardless of gender, origin or
religion. The AKDN’s underlying ethic is compassion
for the vulnerable in society. Its annual budget for
philanthropic activity is in excess of US$ 300 million.
