Aga Khan Foundation Canada: Country: India
The project’s objective is to transform disadvantaged and marginalized children’s lives and learning by improving both access to, and quality of, education opportunities. The proposed investment builds upon significant gains working in poor neighbourhoods of 4 sub-districts of Bihar, where a network of neighbourhood-level Learning Support Centres, launched by the Aga Khan Rural Support Program in 2009, is providing afterschool support to 5,000 pre-school and primary school children. (Up to $1,890,879 over 2 years and 3 months)

Activities which are planned properly catch the attention of Donor Countries, and the more
relevant the ideas the more effective these are in reducing the poverty in underdeveloped
countries. Apart from the Grand Work being done by Agakhan Foundation with the Agakhan Rural Support Programme under it, interested and knowledgeable Ismailies amongst us should take one country each, learn their economic, and educational as well as health scenarios and difficulties and then sit down and ponder how best may we overcome them. I am sure by suggesting our plan to Agakhan Foundation, further progress in the right direction would be inevitable. To all at AKF and AKRSP I say Bravo! and Mubaraki to all
