“Our collaborative work with Aga Khan Development Network over the years exemplifies the power of public private partnerships in making measurable, long-term impact for those most in need.”
Conrad Person, Director of Johnson & Johnson’s International Programs and Product Giving, Corporate Contributions

"Nonprofit development organizations, such as AKF USA, have a major role to play in achieving long-term development. Governments cannot do it by themselves; the U.S. government only has so many resources. It is important that those scarce resources go to groups like AKF USA that can make good use of them, get them to the people most in need, bring other resources to bear, and put into place some positive, long-lasting results."
Mary Chambliss Former Deputy Administrator Foreign Agriculture Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture

“The achievements of AKF USA demonstrate that overcoming the extremely challenging problems of poverty is, indeed, possible. In fact, it is inspirational.”
Phil Wilson, Texas Secretary of State

“It is amazing to watch very young children and teenagers teach others about the necessity of aiding people who are desperately in need. They are not sitting around waiting on the politicians to authorize funding or figure out a way to intervene in some of the world’s disastrous situations. They are actively making a difference.”
Bob Ray Sanders, Fort Worth Star Telegram
