The COVID-19 crisis has affected families, children and educators particularly hard. Parents have now been burdened with the responsibility of meeting their children’s educational needs. This burden has been hardest among marginalised communities. Schools2030 – a flagship programme for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and a coalition of eight other private foundations – is responding to the crisis. 

The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) has worked in some of the most difficult, hard-to-reach parts of Africa and Asia for over 50 years. Prioritising the well-being and psychosocial support was crucial to our COVID-19 response framework for these fragile contexts.
