WHO WE ARE

WE ARE AL-MUDASSAR TRUST

Al-Mudassar Trust was founded as a social welfare organization to cater to the ever-growing needs of children with special needs living in ‘rural’ areas of Pakistan. It provides totally free education and health services to children with special needs living in and around Tehsil Kharian, Pakistan

OUR JOURNEY

From humble beginnings in 1999, the first part of the dream was fulfilled when the doors were opened for just 8 deaf children at Al-Mudassar but today the number has grown to more than 450 children with various special needs. In 2009, the school shifted from the old rented building to the state of the art building designed by French architect and funded entirely by family and close friends of Chairman and founder of Al-Mudassae Trust “Syed Mudassar Shah”. Today, Al-Mudassar Trust is situated near village Baharwal, Tehsil Kharian, with an area of several hectares. The campus occupies 93,000 square feet of the covered area that includes classrooms equipped with computers, modern audio testing, Lego laboratories library, resource centre, mosque, playgrounds and hostels for boys and girls. The grounds reflect an amazing blend of beautiful creativity and modern design inspired by the French painter, Claude Monet.

Message of Chairman

“Having spent my childhood watching my blind siblings struggle with the smallest things in life and the challenges that my parents faced in Pakistan. I pledged to myself and the Almighty, that should he bestow me with sustenance, I would create something unique for the special children of Pakistan. What you see today is a result of that pledge.

I have dedicated over 20 years of my life to this cause and have invested huge amounts of money to realise this dream. The complex is a lifeline to over 450 children who without Al Mudassar would be on the streets and treated as insignificant beings. The journey has been long and very exhausting both physically and mentally, but when I see the students of Al Mudassar achieve 100% results year on year I feel that my efforts have not been in vain.

When I hear of children with learning disabilities being abused or shunned or children with physical disabilities left on the bed all day, I feel that this is only the beginning and we have soo much yet to do. Changing the mindset of the people through education is my next step through Al-Mudassar University for Special Education.

As you can see that this is a giant of a project for one person and I now invite you all to become a part of the Al Mudassar family by supporting us through your donations, time and prayers”.
