Iqrah Women and Children Foundation was born out of a deep and personal understanding of hardship, poverty, and the silent struggles that many women and children face daily. Our founder, having grown up in a community where opportunities were limited and basic needs often unmet, witnessed firsthand how lack of education, economic dependence, and social neglect could hold back entire generations — especially women and children.

The name "Iqrah", meaning "read" or "learn", reflects our core belief: that knowledge, dignity, and opportunity can change lives. What began as a small act of kindness — feeding a hungry child, helping a single mother learn a skill — grew into a movement of compassion, action, and empowerment.

Driven by a vision of breaking cycles of poverty and dependence, we began organizing outreach projects, mobilizing local resources, and forming partnerships with kind-hearted individuals and groups who shared our dream. Each story we heard — of a girl denied education, a mother without a livelihood, a child sleeping hungry — added fuel to our mission.

Today, Iqrah stands as a beacon of hope, healing, and transformation in the lives of hundreds. Through our programs in education, women’s empowerment, child welfare, and community development, we continue to walk with the people — hand in hand — to create a future where every woman and every child not only survives, but thrives.

This is our story. And with your support, it continues — one life, one village, one smile at a time.
