“A boat doesn’t go forward if each one is rowing their own way.”
Swahili Proverb
Dr Ayesha Khan.
Chief Executive Officer.
Progress is rarely linear. At AHKF, resilience is not just how we respond to adversity, but how we continue to place communities at the center of development. Guided by our ethos of development thinking in a changing world, we remain committed to strengthening women’s economic empowerment, expanding access to education, advancing primary healthcare, and building climate-resilient cities. Together, these efforts reflect our belief that lasting change emerges when people are empowered to shape their own futures.
