Al-Khair School project is a pioneering initiative of Al-Khair Foundation led by the proprietor Imam Qasim Rashid Ahmad. From its very beginnings as an educational program, Al-Khair Foundation has been committed to increasing literacy and employability skills, striving to educate our new generation, both at home and abroad, so that they may dream of a better future with Islamic understanding. With this vision, first Al-Khair School was inaugurated in 2003 in Croydon, London, UK which has now evolved into a fully self-sufficient independent Primary & Secondary Schools and serving over 400 pupils. This project flourished with the community support and this success provided assurance to our commitment. Today, we build schools, sponsor educational initiatives and provide vocational training in many locations around the world, including in the UK, Somaliland, Pakistan, Palestine (Gaza) and Bangladesh. We have eight schools in our portfolio – three in the United Kingdom, one in Somaliland and four in Pakistan – from which we educate over 6,000 children. We also educate over 3,700 Palestinian children in Gaza, with our support of Palestinian children garnering acclaim from the UN.
