The Foundation has agreed significant grant funding for The Noor Project, a project to support communities in need in rural Pakistan.

Thanks to the Foundation’s support, the Noor Project will enable:

  • up to 80 additional students to participate in the literacy prigramme
  • support 180 students in skills workshops
  • provide food for an additional 50 families
  • support 5 additional orphaned girls
