The Government of Canada and Aga Khan are also partners in the Global Center for Pluralism, which promotes inclusive and responsible governance, respect for diversity and human rights.
His Highness Maulana Hazar Imam’s Charity Work
The aim is to sustainably improve the health and nutritional status of vulnerable groups, especially women of childbearing potential, adolescents and children under the age of five. The aim is to improve the access and use of integrated health services while enabling communities to implement effective health practices. Across the world, AKF supports health and nutrition services reaching over 800,000 people.
Health And Nutrition Of The Community
Community health workers
The Foundation is committed to reducing the burden of disease while providing general coverage by building a competent corps of community health workers whose knowledge and skills can help improve the health of families in remote areas. These health workers receive ongoing training, materials and supervision to gain trust and relevance to the community over time.
As this process is central to achieving health gains in the regions in which AKF operates, the Foundation is taking steps to retain those health workers in the long term. For example, it strengthens the self-help groups of civil society and ensures the link with livelihoods and other relevant programs.
Prevention, treatment and referral by the Ismaili community
AKF helps reduce the burden of disease at the community level by improving knowledge of positive health, hygiene and nutritional behaviors and practices through robust behavioral communication behavior change strategies and community engagement. The AKF also seeks to expand the reach of the universal service by supporting and expanding community case management and strengthening community monitoring and referral mechanisms.
Ismaili Community Nutrition Screening and Support
The AKF works to reduce the burden of malnutrition at the community level by promoting better knowledge of positive dietary habits and practices, including supporting strong nutritional practices for infants and toddlers at the household level. AKF is also working to reduce micronutrient deficiencies through food-based approaches, as well as community-based supplementation and deworming of micronutrients. The AKF supports community-based screening for malnutrition and improves access to and transfer to nutritional care programs.
AKDN works to improve the health of a community by integrating behavioral changes into its program. In Southern Tanzania, the Coastal Rural Assistance Program (CRF) is raising awareness among families of the importance of proper nutrition, especially for infants whose growth and development depend on it.
