Highlights from Our Founder Puan Sri Norma Hashim's visit to Egypt

The following is a firsthand account from our Founder, Puan Sri Norma Hashim, highlighting her visit to Egypt and the meaningful connections that continue to shape our mission.

I didn’t just learn about ancient history in Egypt but I also learnt about Taha Hussein — a household name in Egypt, who overcame poverty and blindness to become a scholar of Arabic literature and the Egyptian Minister of Education in 1950.

Dr Hussein, who had studied at Al-Azhar and the Sorbonne, started schools for the blind and abolished school fees to enable poor children to attend school. In the first photo my friend Dr Zaki and I are standing in front of the Taha Hussein school مدرسة المركز النموذجى و طه حسين للمكفوفين which he attended as a child. Now Dr Zaki has started an NGO to take in kids from the school for extra classes in English and other subjects.

Pages of Strength, Voices of Light

At Al Fitrah Foundation, stories don’t just stay on the page — they’re heard, felt, and shared. In our recent Braille reading session, Majid and Mike guided a heartfelt gathering as we explored Strength from Within by Sa’diyya Nesar — a treasured Ramadan gift 🌙💛.

What followed was more than a reading. It was a space for reflection, honesty, and connection. Every voice spoke of inner battles, quiet courage, and faith-fuelled resilience 🌿🗣️.
