"We are rooted in the principles of inclusivity, collaboration, and integrity. Every initiative we undertake aims to uplift communities while preserving dignity and mutual respect."
Our mission is to provide quality education to underserved communities and empower women to become leaders in their society.
At the Iraadeh Education Foundation, we are driven by a steadfast commitment to safeguarding the rights and interests of all citizens, with a special focus on the empowerment of women and children.
Our mission is inspired by the lifelong work of our founder's father, the late Mohammed Ishaq Ilmi — a distinguished journalist and former editor of the Urdu daily Siasat Jadid (Kanpur). A staunch advocate of girls' education, he instilled in his daughters the belief that they could be agents of change in society. This legacy is at the heart of everything we do.
"Education is not the preparation for life. Education is life itself."
From scholarships for rural girls to health initiatives and leadership training — our programs work together to transform lives.
Through our scholarship initiatives, we ensure financial barriers do not hold back bright young minds. These scholarships target girls from rural areas, providing access to secondary and higher education.
Our health programs provide access to medical care, reproductive health education, and mental health resources to ensure that women and girls can lead healthy, productive lives.
Our leadership programs focus on enhancing women's decision-making capabilities, giving them the tools to lead in their communities and workplaces.
Fellowships and mentorship connecting meritorious students with universities, coaching for JEE, NEET, and CLAT, and post-graduation career guidance.
Grassroots programs that work directly within underserved communities to build local capacity, create awareness, and foster self-reliance.
We welcome corporate social responsibility partnerships. As an 80G-approved foundation, all contributions qualify for tax deduction under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.
We believe in creating scalable, impactful programs that foster long-term change. Our vision is bold, measurable, and rooted in community.
