In an inspiring step towards improving educational opportunities, the University of Management and Technology (UMT) has signed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Muslim World League (MWL). This initiative was led by the visionary Chairman and President of UMT, Ibrahim Hasan Murad, and is aimed at transforming lives through education, especially for girls in underserved communities.
The signing ceremony was attended by notable dignitaries, including the Secretary General of the Muslim World League, His Excellency Dr. Muhammad Bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, Saudi Ambassador His Excellency Nawaf Bin Saeed Al-Malki, and Professor Sajjad Qamar. Their presence underscored the importance of this collaboration, which seeks to address some of the most pressing educational challenges faced by marginalized groups.
The agreement focuses on creating opportunities for girls in Muslim communities, particularly those who face financial hardships and cultural barriers that limit their access to education. Through this partnership, UMT and MWL aim to implement several key initiatives, including:
Offering scholarships to girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Organizing capacity-building programs to promote sustainable educational development.
Launching community outreach projects in collaboration with local schools and organizations.
Promoting the values of tolerance, peace, and cultural understanding through education.
This partnership reflects UMT’s strong commitment to academic excellence and social justice, in line with its mission to empower marginalized communities through education. It also highlights the Muslim World League’s dedication to addressing global educational inequalities, combating extremism, and fostering peace across the world.
During the event, Ibrahim Hasan Murad spoke passionately about the transformative power of education, particularly for young girls, in creating more inclusive and equitable societies. He emphasized that education is not just a tool for individual growth but a powerful force for building harmonious and progressive communities. He expressed hope that this partnership would lead to meaningful change, fostering hope and opportunity for those who need it the most.
This collaboration between UMT and MWL marks a significant step in uniting academic institutions and global organizations to address major challenges. It stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating how education can be a catalyst for positive change, global peace, and cultural harmony.
