The Aga Khan Foundation is an international foundation focusing on charitable works in specific targeted areas in Asia and Africa. Focusing on initiatives targeting health, education, and rural development, among others, the Aga Khan Foundation is a respected worldwide institution with great renown in the philanthropic community. Recently, members of the foundation honored Shamran Kurani, local business owner, for his contributions to the foundation, and for his continued support.

The Aga Khan Foundation was founded in 1967 and now has offices worldwide. Since that time, the organization has been devoted to finding sustainable solutions for poverty, hunger, illiteracy and poor health in communities around the world who need it most. Shamran Kurani has been a long-time supporter of the organization’s mission, and has been giving to the foundation for many years. Now in his capacity as VP of Kurani Global Restaurants, Shamran Kurani is in a position to give more than ever before to this worthy cause, and has done so recently. As a result, Shamran Kurani has been honored by representatives from the Aga Khan Foundation as being an outstanding contributor and furthering the mission of the foundation.

“I give because it is what I believe in,” Shamran Kurani was quoted as saying. “If it were not a cause near and dear to my own heart, and my own beliefs, I would not be able to sustain the level of commitment I have been able to. I thank the Aga Khan Foundation for their wonderful work in making the world a better place, and will support that mission as much and for as long as I am able.”

Aga Khan Foundation’s 2800 members organize around its central goals of long-term educational development, economic sustainability, and community improvement projects in these impoverished areas the foundation has targeted. Shamran Kurani has long believed that focusing on small areas to enact real change is the best form of philanthropy and charity work, and he has thrown all his weight into the Aga Khan Foundation’s camp.

Thanks to Shamran Kurani’s efforts the foundation has been able to continue to enact its mission in the world, providing education and change to those who need it the very most.
