Our commitment to philanthropic efforts are managed through The Dawood Foundation.

The Dawood Foundation

The Dawood family formed The Dawood Foundation in 1960 with a vision to empower individuals through learning and education. Beginning conventionally with the establishment of institutions, the foundation endeavours to introduce innovative interactive spaces for informal learning that serve everyone. Moving from formal education to informal education is stimulating, giving projects more fluidity, dynamism, interactivity and room to try new ways of engaging with people.
