Canadians Making a World of Difference
For 25 years, Canadians have participated in Aga Khan Foundation Canada’s International Fellowship Program – then gone on to make a difference both at home and abroad.
Some alumni have continued their career in the international development sector, while others have brought their global experience and perspectives to work with new Canadians to support their transition, develop business cases for new models of health care, or start a successful fair trade coffee franchise.
In celebration of International Development Week, AKFC has profiled some exceptional Canadians who are making a world of difference. Learn more by watching their profiles below:
