Nazeer Foundation
welcome
Education provides the depth of vision and broadness of thought that builds strong and progressive societies. It is a powerful tool which helps individuals achieve their goals and lead successful and productive lives. Nazeer Foundation is the materialization of a concept based on hope and optimism. It is the desire of the Foundation to offer the same to the students that attend our schools and those that benefit from other relief and uplift projects. Hope and optimism together with the tools of success as mentioned earlier can begin to change society from its grassroots. Uplift of society is not only a noble desire but a responsibility upon those who are in a position to contribute. It is only through realization of this responsibility that true change can be expected. Nazeer Foundation stands tall from this source of inspiration and looks to contribute to true, meaningful and exciting change in our society.

Shell Social Investment visits Kathore
LiveWIRE International, a Shell Social Investment program, locally known as Shell Tameer, visited Kathore’s Higher Secondary School on March 1, 2010.
The organization arranged a workshop by the name of “Bright Ideas” to motivate students to pursue entrepreneurship and help them develop ideas on business options. The workshop was a five hour program with 22 participants (both male and female) between the ages of 18-23.
Not only was each participant empowered with greater knowledge and a new perspective with broadened horizons, but they were given certificates of achievement as well. They also benefited immensely due to their networking with Shell Tameer and Tameer’s partner, SMEDA (Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority).

The enrollment as of February 2010 is 72 girls, more than twice the number from one year ago. Nazeer Foundation has also hired three additional teachers for this school.
