Iman was one of the founders and the first executive director of Ikram Foundation. The Iman Al-Shingiethi Scholarship is a reminder of our organization’s roots and what we strive to accomplish.
Iman passed away suddenly in February of 2015, and left us with an revolutionary organization that is Ikram. Ikram Foundation established the Iman Al Shingieti Scholarship Fund to commemorate her dedication and hard work. She will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Check out a recent testimonial by one of our Ikram beneficiaries:"I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. As a divorced single mother I have the responsibility of providing for my son and my mother. I was working small jobs and on welfare, with no real future for me or my family. A year ago, in October 2022 Ikram Foundation helped pay the fee for a technical certificate and program with Agile1tech. I studied and completed the certification, while working my daytime job. Just a few weeks ago I started my first IT new job as a Quality Assurance Analyst for a US Government Agency.I am finally making enough money to provide for myself and the ones I love.Thank you for empowering me and changing my life Alhamdulillah."End 2023 by helping to change a deserving woman's life-donate here today: bit.ly/Ikram4Education ...

ہو میرا کام غریبوں اور یتیموں کی کفالت اور مدد کرنا ہے میری ترجیح وہ لوگ ہیں یتیم ہیں اور جن کا گھر میں کوئی کمانے والا نہیں ہے۔ وہ لوگ جن کا اللہ کے سوا کوئی سہارا نہیں۔لوگوں کیلئے آسانیاں پیدا کرو تاکہ تمہارا "رب" تمہارے لیے آسانیاں پیدا کرے۔میں نے ہر ادارے کو درخواست بھیجے کوئی جواب نہیں آرہا میں اکیلا خدمت کرتا ہوں ہمارے علاقے میں ایسی یتیم بچی ہے ان کے پاس خوراک نہیں ہے اور یہ سرد موسم میں ان کے پاس نہ کپڑے ہے نہ شوز ہے کچھ بھی نہیں ہے اور بہت مشکلاتوں سے زندگی گزار رہے ہیں. ہو میرا کام غریبوں اور یتیموں کی کفالت اور مدد کرنا ہے سردیاں شروع ہیں اگر آپکے پاس ایکسٹرا گرم کپڑے (جرسی ، سویٹرز وغیرہ) ہوں تو پلیز کسی یتیم کو ڈونیٹ کردیں۔🙏 مہنگائی بہت ہے🤲 اور گھر میں کوئی کمانے والا بھی نہیں ہے
