Mahjabeen Foundation (MjF) was registered in December 1987 as a charitable trust, under the Trust Act of 1982. The Trust is administered by a Board of Trustees who is responsible for laying down the policies, approving the annual budget, accounts and overseeing the working of the Trust.

The accounts of the Trust are annually audited by a firm of Chartered Accountants. The management of the day to day activities is assigned to various Trustees who report back to the Board.

This is not purely a new venture, before the creation of this Foundation some of the senior Trustees with the help of donors have since 1965 supported many needy and deserving students under the Lilkhair Scholarship scheme for higher education.

This scheme has now been merged with MjF. The major focus of the foundation and the generous individuals who are supporting it is to fight abject poverty that inflicts our rural areas.

The major focus of the foundation and the generous individuals who are supporting it is to fight abject poverty that inflicts our rural areas. The Mahjabeen Foundation in its own limited way has accepted the challenge to break this vicious circle of ignorance and poverty.

It has decided to work with rural women and children. We are trying to light a candle in the wind. It is very difficult task but together we can do it.
