good to know finally khums money of Ismailis are used for good purpose instead of wasting it on 200 million dollar yacht, expensive divorces and expensive designer clothes for Mr agha khan and his wives.

I hope Ismailis will keep pressure on this playboy and he will be kneeled down to use khums money for such authentic missions.

Seems like you have been hiding under a rock given that you have no idea about various initiatives of the AKDN, and other institution. FYI, of the top of my head I can recall $300 million museum showcasing Islamic art, millions for Aga Khan academies in Africa, India and the middle east, expansion of AKU, hundreds of millions for health in India, countless spent by Focus humanitarian assistance for crisis response, etc. Maybe you should educate yourself before making ignorant statements.
