Who We Are

Building a Stronger, More Compassionate Community

Al-Nisha Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting less privileged families and improving their health, safety, and wellbeing.

Established on 28th June 2016, the foundation was co-founded by Tasneem Fatma, Kisto Kr Gupta, and other like-minded individuals who shared a common vision of uplifting marginalized communities.

Our primary objective is to address the socio-economic problems affecting Women, Children, Senior Citizens, and other Marginalized communities. We work tirelessly to bridge gaps in access to education, healthcare, and essential services that these vulnerable groups often struggle to obtain.

Founder's Message

When we established Al-Nisha Foundation on 28 June 2016, we carried a simple yet powerful dream — to build a society where every woman finds strength, every child finds hope, and every elder finds dignity.

Our journey has been one of compassion, perseverance, and unwavering commitment. From empowering women with skills and confidence, to nurturing children with education and care, to ensuring our senior citizens live with the respect they deserve — every initiative is a step toward a more just and compassionate world.

We believe that real change happens not through words alone, but through sustained action, community participation, and the collective will of people who care. Our volunteers, donors, partners, and well-wishers are the backbone of this mission.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and building an organization that serves as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged.

I invite you to join us in this journey of service and transformation. Together, we can create a world where dignity, opportunity, and compassion are not privileges, but rights for every individual.

With gratitude and hope,

Tasneem Fatma
Founder / General Secretary
