Welcome Message
from the Board of Trustees
Dear Parents,
Sheikh Abid Hussain
Chairman Hamza Foundation
We are heartened by your decision to entrust to us the education of your child. We take this opportunity to extend to you our
warmest greetings.
Hamza Foundation Academy for the Deaf is the recognized leader of all the institutions dealing with education of hearing impaired
children. Alhamdolillah we have achieved considerable success in this specialized field and we hope to impart to your child the
benefits of our experience and the specialized skills that we have developed at our Academy.
Our endeavour will be not only to educate your child but to make him or her a useful contributing member of society by the time
he/she completes the education with us. However, we must make it clear, at the outset, that our efforts will need your active and
continuous support. For a hearing impaired child the learning process does not end with class hours. It has to continue at home
also.
Parent-teacher meetings and relationships are of pivotal significance. We will even otherwise be available to you whenever you
need to consult.
Let us jointly work for the welfare of your child and pray that Almighty Allah shall bless our efforts.
Yours Sincerely
(SHAHID HAMID)
Chairman Board of Trustees

General
Introduction
H
amza Foundation Academy for the Deaf is one of the many welfare
projects of Hamza Foundation which is a registered Welfare Trust
Organization.
The origin of Hamza Foundation dates back to 1954, when Late Mian
Muhammad Amin S/o Late Mian Muhammad Hayat established Sabira
Masjid in Shershah, Karachi, with a view to make it a center for imparting
basic Islamic teachings to the children of the destitute living in the area.
After his death on May 28, 1967, his successors decided to lay the
foundation of a social welfare institution in his memory. A body named
"AMIN HAYAT TRUST" was constituted with the ultimate objective of
developing it into a grand charitable organization.
Its name was changed in 1978 to HAMZA FOUNDATION and got it
registered as a Welfare Trust. The name "HAMZA” was picked up because
of the reverence in which Hazrat Amir Hamza, the uncle of the Holy Prophet
(Peace be upon him), was held.
Hamza Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the Foundation), an NGO
registered as a non-profitable guarantee limited company, is one of the
largest and Oldest charitable organization in the country. The Foundation
has no other business but to serve humanity, primarily in the fields of health
& education through its self-sponsored projects as well as by way of
providing support to needy individuals and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Irrespective of any caste, creed, religion,
race or language, the charitable activities of the foundation are spread over
the country.
