The A & N Foundation builds schools, funds students, and advances learning across Pakistan — and accounts for every rupee that makes it possible.
Across Pakistan, a child's future too often turns on whether anyone could afford the first letter. We exist to close that gap — without ever profiting from it.
The A & N Foundation is a public company limited by guarantee, dedicated entirely to public welfare. Every rupee, every property, and every resource is bound by law to a single purpose: advancing education, literacy, and socio-economic development for communities that need it most.
We don't award degrees, run housing schemes, or take political sides. We teach people to read, help students stay in school, and give researchers and writers room to think — and we publish how the money moves so you never have to take that on faith.
Distinct programmes, one purpose. Each is funded only by lawful donations and grants, and spent only on the work below.
We set up, run, and sustain places to learn — schools, colleges, computer-literacy labs, reading rooms, and adult-education classes for those who never got their turn.
For students who've earned the chance but can't yet afford it: direct aid that keeps the path open, from first fees to final placement.
Learning doesn't stop at school. We back the people who push knowledge forward — researchers, writers, and the public conversations between them.
The Foundation holds the powers it needs to operate, and not one beyond them.
We solicit and accept donations, grants, and gifts — local and foreign — and apply them only toward our charitable objectives.
We acquire and manage the property our programmes require. Commercial housing schemes and unrelated real-estate business are strictly off-limits.
We bank responsibly and invest surplus only in low-risk avenues — preserving today's gifts to sustain tomorrow's classrooms.
These aren't goodwill statements. They're binding constraints written into our Memorandum of Association and enforced under our SECP licence.
All income, revenue, and surplus is reinvested in the mission. No dividends, bonuses, or payouts reach members or their families — ever.
No member or their family draws a salary or office payment — and that bar holds for five years after a member resigns.
We fund no campaigns and no candidates, operate as no trade union, and never exploit or offend religious sentiment.
All local and foreign funding flows through official banking channels — crossed cheques or bank drafts — and nothing else.
The books close on 30 June annually, opening our finances to formal review and keeping accountability on a fixed clock.
If the Foundation ever winds up, no member takes a share. Every asset passes to another Section 42 charity doing similar work.

Give once or partner with us long-term. However you take part, your support is spent only on the work — and accounted for in full.
Fund scholarships, literacy centres, and research grants directly. All gifts are received through official, documented banking channels.
Institutions and businesses can co-fund programmes or host a literacy centre in their community.
Teach, mentor a student, or judge a research award. Skilled time is as valuable as funding.
For your protection and ours, donations are accepted only by crossed cheque or bank draft, on the record — never in cash to an individual.
Bank account particulars are shared on request so we can issue a proper receipt. The Foundation never solicits cash payments to individuals.
