Born on May 9th, 1942, Mrs. Rukhsana Mushtaq Tahirkheli, our esteemed founder, began her journey in a world of service. Her father, then serving as a British Army officer, instilled values of compassion early on. Enrolling at Presentation Covent High School Rawalpindi at the tender age of five, she started aiding her community, generously sharing her pocket money with those in need.

Upon completing her studies in 1963, she married Mushtaq Tahirkheli, an army officer. She had two children namely Naeem Tahirkheli who is a cardiologist in the U.S.A. and a daughter, Eram Sheikh who is happily married to a renowned businessman in Karachi. Despite the family’s frequent relocations due to her husband’s military service, her innate desire to assist the less fortunate remained steadfast. She often taught underprivileged children and offered help wherever they went.
