History
In 1985, a visionary group of dedicated professionals envisioned establishing an institution committed to uplifting underprivileged communities in Sindh, Pakistan, and across the developing world. Their mission was to bring meaningful change through initiatives in education, healthcare, and social welfare.
This vision led to the formation of Isra Islamic Foundation (Guarantee) Limited. Two major projects were launched: an Education and Health Complex in Hyderabad, which has since evolved into the renowned Isra University, and a Blindness Prevention Program that has expanded its humanitarian reach to 35 countries throughout Asia and Africa.
