Our Works
The Ghazanfar foundation focuses on health, education, culture, rural development,

improving living conditions and opportunities for the poor, without regard to their
faith, origin or gender.
Foundation works in the following major areas
Education
Health Care
Employment
Housing
Education
The first word revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was Iqra –
meaning "Read!" "Read! In the name of your Lord, Who Has Created; Has Created man
from clot. Read! and your Lord is Most Generous. Who taught by the pen. Who has taught
man that which he knew not" [Al-Quran 96:1 – 5] Throughout history, the value of
education has been universally well-recognized as a fundamental human right.
Education not only opens doors of opportunity to a better living standard, it also
broadens our views about world affairs and social norms around the world, helping us
become more tolerant and law-abiding citizens. Illiteracy is not caused by a lack of
intelligence; rather it is often a result of outside factors that can be addressed.
Today, a large segment of the world's population - particularly in Muslim countries -
does not know how to read or write.
As a result, they are unable to achieve their goals in life and reach their full
potential in terms of financial stability to support their families.
A major goal of the Ghazanfar Foundation is to improve the quality of basic education,
ensuring better early caring and learning environments for young children; increasing
access to education; keeping children in school longer; and raising levels of academic
achievement.
Health care
Health is more than health care. While the Foundation works to strengthen health systems
and services, it also promotes initiatives that offer people the knowledge and skills
to avoid illness. The goal of the Foundation's health programmed is to achieve sustainable
improvements in health status among vulnerable groups, especially the geographically
remote, women of childbearing age and children . The Foundation promotes improvements
in health policies, financing mechanisms and basic services while enabling communities
to adopt effective health practices.
Social Welfare
Most of us have been blessed with basic needs of life, whereas poverty is the biggest
challenge of developing countries. More than two thirds of the population lives below
the poverty line. Majority of the populations do not have the basic amenities of life
such as food, clothing and shelter.
Ghaznafar Foundation serves the poorest of poor in the economically depressed areas of
such countries.
Employment
Ghazanfar Foundation strongly believes in helping people become financially independent
and self sufficient, instead of providing them Employment in Ghazanfar Group.
Environment
The Prophet (pbuh) said:"If the Hour is about to be established and one of you was holding
a palm shoot, let him take advantage of even one second before the Hour is established to
plant it."
(Reported by Ahmad and Al-Bukhan on the authority of Anas in Al Adab Al-Mufrad, see also
Sahih Al- Jami' Al-Saghir, No.1424)
Among the many challenges that the world faces today, we can't forget our responsibility
of taking care of this Earth as it's condition affects all life upon it. With that fact
in mind and the realization of the degradation of the environment on many aspects,
Ghazanfar Foundation formed our Environmental Program in which we conduct projects that
address some challenges that need to be met to ensure a safer, cleaner, and healthier
environment.
Ghazanfar Foundation particularly concentrates on improving the environment in
economically depressed areas of the world to improve the lives of the poor while teaching
them the value of caring for the Earth.
