Our Inspiration
Sanad Trust Foundation began with a sincere concern in the heart of a father and the dream of a mother for their child’s future and the world he would inherit. Like a seed that represents a beginning, the child’s environment and their emotional, intellectual, and spiritual nourishment will shape their growth. This holistic view places the child at the center, with peers, parents, and the community around it.
All of Sanad Trust Foundation’s programs and services are inspired by this comprehensive approach to building up and strengthening youth, adults, and elders. Every program and service is intended to complement one another. This perspective is significant and guides the Sanad Trust brand as an ecosystem.
