Our Mission
To promote health, education, humanities and peace in South Asia and beyond.
Our Vision
We, the N.A. Sher Foundation, are dedicated to see a society in which humans achieve the best level of health care and education by exercising their basic human rights, such as freedom of choice, speech, religion, and the right to due process in a community.
Our Objectives
We strive to create an environment in which people achieve freedom and exercise their individual choices.
Our ultimate goal is not only to provide services for the immediate need, but also to create a sustainable system so that members of the society can utilize the tools we are giving them to eventually solve problems on their own.
In order to facilitate this process, we maintain the following objectives:
1. To educate individuals about their basic human rights and make them aware of existing resources.
2. To improve the quality of education in South Asian countries and beyond.
3. To educate individuals about HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Hepatitis and other diseases, as well as improve maternal health and visual ailments.
4. To promote a gender balance among society.
5. To promote peace, security and democracy in all countries.
6. Empower society through capacity-building training and education in order to meet the challenges of the time. This empowerment will ensure the community understands and actively participates in decision-making that affects their lives, as well as improve their integrity, self-respect and quality of life.
