An exhibition which opens Thursday at the Canada Science and Technology Museum provides an overview of Aga Khan projects and their effects, undertaken with help from Canadian partners such as the Canadian International Development Agency.
Bridges that Unite is a travelling show organized by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, based in Ottawa, which links Canadian resources to some 40 projects in a dozen countries throughout Africa and Asia.
They address health, education, rural development and civil society organizations as well as culture.
The exhibits, which include photography, videos, recordings and texts, illustrate examples of appropriate technologies applied as well as efforts to keep alive traditional crafts and technical skills to restore ancient monuments and provide safe water supplies.
