Al-Qadir Trust (officially Al-Qadir University Project Trust) is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by Imran Khan. The trust works to provide poverty relief and promote education and healthcare.
History
The Al-Qadir Trust was founded in 1996 by Imran Khan, who served as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2018 to 2022 . He is the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), a political party that advocates for social justice and economic development.[citation needed] The groundbreaking ceremony for the Al-Qadir University took place on 5 May 2019, at Sohawa, at which the prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, laid the university's foundation stone.[2]
The trust was established to provide relief to the poor and needy in Pakistan. The trust's first project was to build a school in the village of Mianwali. The school was named after Khan's father, who was a teacher. The trust has since expanded its activities to include a variety of other projects, such as providing food and shelter to the homeless, providing financial assistance to students, and running hospitals and clinics.[3]
Controversies
The trust has also been criticized for its alleged involvement in sectarianism. In 2019, the trust was accused[by whom?] of providing financial assistance to a banned sectarian organization. The trust denied the allegations.[4][5][6]
In 2023, Imran Khan was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on charges of corruption related to the trust. He was later released on bail.[7][8]
