Barakah, our sister website, dedicated to His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims, has a special page covering news related to the Aga Khan and his family members. Prince Rahim, his oldest son, concluded his five-day visit to Pakistan on June 10, 2024, with a meeting with the Pakistan Prime Mnister Shehbaz Sharif (see featured photo, top of post). On June 7, the Prince was awarded Pakistan’s Highest Civilian Order by the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari.

Prince Rahim then visited Hunza to launch projects related to the development of Solar Power Plants and a high-tech Software Park, visited the 800-year-old restored historic fort of Altit and saw the completion of the five-star Hotel Serena. On June 9, he inaugurated the new Headquarters of HBL Microfinance Bank in Gilgit.

Prince Rahim’s sister, Princess Zahra, visited the Aga Khan Development Network’s work in Hunza and Chitral between May 22 and 26. 

On May 11, their aunt, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan hosted the highly successful Rita Hayworth Gala in Chicago. This remarkable event, which raised nearly US $900,000, is a shining example of how collective efforts can make a significant difference in supporting the Alzheimer’s Association’s care, support, and research programs.
