Al Hassan Foundation, based in Ratta, Dadyal, AJK stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the underprivileged children of the region. Founded in the wake of a personal tragedy, the vision of Chaudhary Muhammed Yousaf, former Senior Minister of AJK, came to fruition with the encouragement of Molana Hakim Hayat Ali Chishti. In memory of his late son, Chaudhary Muhammed Yousaf embarked on a mission to provide education and support to orphaned and disadvantaged children.
Established in 1982, Jamia Al Hassan was the initial endeavor, followed by the establishment of three more academic institutes, all made possible through the generous donations of land by Chaudhary Muhammed Yousaf and his brothers, along with the support of donors and trustees. Today, Al Hassan Foundation stands tall with its four educational institutions, offering not only religious education but also a comprehensive curriculum encompassing science, technology, and worldly knowledge, all rooted in Islamic principles.
With a commitment to nurturing not just academic excellence but also character development, Al Hassan Foundation ensures that its students, including orphans and those from impoverished backgrounds, receive not only education but also hostel facilities and food. The Foundation’s impact extends beyond the classroom, with many alumni now serving as lecturers, military officers, and professionals in various sectors.
Registered as a charity organization in the UK, Al Hassan Foundation is driven by a set of noble objectives, aiming to uplift the marginalized sections of society by providing them with quality education, fostering social responsibility, and equipping them with the skills to contribute positively to their communities.
The late Chaudhary Muhammad Yousaf’s dream lives on through Al Hassan Foundation, as expressed by its Chairman, Chaudhary Azhar Sadiq. With a heartfelt commitment to carrying forward the legacy of compassion and service, the Foundation continues to strive towards excellence, guided by the belief that education, both religious and contemporary, is the key to societal transformation and progress.
