The Mo Ibrahim Foundation expresses its condolences on the passing of His Highness Aga Khan IV.
His Highness Aga Khan IV (1936-2025), the 49th Imam of the Isma’ili Muslims, was a religious leader, a businessman and a philanthropist known for his significant contributions to education and healthcare, funding numerous schools, universities, and hospitals worldwide. His Foundation is strongly present in ten African countries. A wise defender of Islamic values and culture, he built key bridges between Muslim societies and the West.
As Mo Ibrahim stated to the Financial Times:
“He was a very modest and engaging man, surprising for someone of his stature and wealth.”
The Foundation extends its condolences to his family and community.
