SECRETARY’S MESSAGE :

Dr. Rananoor Siddique.

2013-2016 was very eventful years for the Noorjahan Begum Charitable Trust (NJB Trust) and I am thrilled to present the three years activity report (2013-2016) that accounts for all the major actions undertaken in pursuit of our mission. Noorjahan Begum Charitable Trust which is registered under Mumbai Public Trust Act and came into existence in 1992 with ambition to improve the lives of the most vulnerable communities, opening the door a better and brighter future.

The trust strives to free the potential of the most disadvantaged, empowering them to thrive in an increasingly complex environment. I am happy to announce that next year we are going to celebrate 25th anniversary of NJB Trust. Supporting communities through education has been one of our main endeavors. It is education that endows in us courage and vision to explore limitless possibilities. The NJB Trust since more than two decades continued to direct efforts on a sustainable basis in an attempt to tackle the many socio-economic problems that face us – the route taken is mainly through education and various other charitable methods. We strongly believe that the disadvantaged need opportunities, not charity. Our aim is to make the disadvantaged self-reliant thereby enabling them to lead a life of dignity. In the coming year the trust remains committed to educating children and youth and transforming them into powerful agents of change.
