Commemorating Mohammad Ataullah's legacy by continuing his belief in the transformative power of girls' education — across Asia and Africa, and into the future.
See Our ProjectsOur Foundation
We are working to commemorate Mohammad Ataullah's legacy by continuing his belief in the importance of girls' education. In the 1980s, he established multiple girls' madrasas across South Asia at a time when cultural barriers made this a radical and courageous act.
We aim to provide access to not only education, but opportunity — for girls to create their futures, to build agency, and to become the architects of their own communities.
Our aim is to work on existing education structures that exist through Asia and Africa, improving them with funding and providing a safe space and community for girls and teachers to flourish.
Societies are built with empowered women. Help us in our mission.

How We Work
Rather than building from scratch, we work with existing schools and madrasas across Asia and Africa — providing funding, training, and resources to elevate what communities have already built.
We invest in the people who make education possible. Teacher training, fair pay, and a strong community of educators are central to everything we do. A flourishing teacher creates flourishing students.
For girls to learn, they need to feel safe. We focus on creating environments — physical and social — where girls can attend, participate, and thrive without fear or barrier.

Partnering with local schools, madrasas, NGOs, and communities across the MENASCA region to strengthen the educational institutions that already exist — and the futures they can unlock.
How We Deliver
Funding & Infrastructure
We provide direct financial support to local schools and madrasas — helping them improve their facilities, retain teachers, and sustain operations for the long term.
Community Partnership
As we grow, we deliver our mission through trusted local NGOs and community organisations — ensuring our work is grounded, sustainable, and shaped by the people it serves.
