What started as one campus near Karachi’s larges What started as one campus near Karachi’s largest landfill has grown into eight thriving schools, an IT institute, and a medical center in partnership with Idara Al Khair. That didn’t happen by chance.

It happened because you believed, and you told a friend, who told another friend, that this work mattered. Keeping these doors open takes work and faith.

We are so proud of the leaders behind our universi We are so proud of the leaders behind our university chapters. Our chapters help to fulfill the global mission of our organization and they work incredibly hard to show up and lead every single day. 

We have aspiring doctors, lawyers, pilots, mathematicians (and so may more) who are driving forward their careers alongside purpose work.

FUN FACT: Our chapters collectively raised over $25,000 in 2025!

We wanted to take a moment to highlight them. Make sure to give them a follow. 

Do you know someone attending these school? Encourage them to join their chapter !
