Under a government initiative in Pakistan, called "Adopt A School," Hidaya (in 2007) launched a project to adopt and operate government schools, which have been shut down deep in the rural areas for a variety of reasons. Hidaya's goal is to adopt twenty such public schools. For more information kindly visit our annual reports.
Hidaya Foundation was awarded Sitara-i-Eisaar (Star of Sacrifice) by the Government of Pakistan, in recognition of the results-oriented relief efforts during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.
Hidaya Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) with FEIN 77-0502583. All cash and in-kind donations are tax deductible. Hidaya puts it’s best effort to utilize the funds donated for a specific project, sometimes circumstances dictate we use funds otherwise.
