At Nova Foundation, we don’t merely aspire to be a community interest company; we stand as unwavering champions of tangible, life-altering transformation. Our vision transcends the realm of ideals; it’s about creating a world where inclusivity isn’t just a concept but a palpable reality for every individual. We acknowledge that ensuring equal access to life’s essentials — be it transportation, healthcare, employment, education, or everyday services — is not just an ambition; it’s an imperative.
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), our commitment goes beyond traditional charity. We are driven by the profound belief that positive, sustainable change is not only possible but essential for the betterment of society as a whole. A CIC is more than a provider of aid; it is a force for enduring transformation that emerges from within communities.
At Nova Foundation, our commitment to education is unwavering, as we recognise that education stands as the cornerstone upon which enlightened and empowered societies are built. We firmly hold to the belief that education must never be a privilege reserved for the few, but rather an unassailable right accessible to all. Consequently, we have wholeheartedly dedicated ourselves to ensuring that every individual, aged 14 to 35, irrespective of their socio-economic circumstances, enjoys unobstructed access to the transformative potential of education.
Our mission is rooted in addressing the critical issue of educational disparities that have endured for far too long. For those who have never had the opportunity to set foot into a classroom or have been compelled to abandon their educational pursuits due to the burdensome weight of resource constraints, Nova Foundation, as a community interest company, steps in with a comprehensive support system.
We go beyond the mere provision of learning materials; we are steadfastly committed to addressing the multifaceted challenges that hinder educational progress. Our support encompasses the distribution of textbooks, stationery, and uniforms, but we do not stop there. Recognizing that the flames of motivation need to be continually kindled, we provide a monthly stipend to ensure that financial burdens do not extinguish the sparks of aspiration.
Our approach knows no boundaries in bridging the educational divide; it is about dismantling the systemic barriers that have long obstructed access to quality learning. Nova Foundation envisions a world where learning is not an unattainable dream but a tangible reality for all, regardless of their circumstances.
Education, in our eyes, is not merely a process of acquiring knowledge; it serves as the gateway to empowerment and the engine of social change. By ensuring equal access to education, we empower individuals to break free from the shackles of limited opportunities, thereby unleashing their potential to contribute meaningfully to society. In this noble pursuit, we are not mere conveyors of knowledge; we are enablers of dreams, architects of brighter futures, and unwavering champions of equity in its purest form.
Join us in our resolute mission to bridge divides, create boundless opportunities, and transform lives. At Nova Foundation, we do not simply dream of a more equitable world; we are actively striving to shape it into a tangible reality. Together, we can illuminate the path to accessible and attainable education for all.
Our responsibility extends to the environment, as we recognise that a thriving planet is essential for thriving communities. As a CIC, we are dedicated to environmental stewardship. We have planted 997 trees in Africa and installed 5 life-giving water wells in the arid deserts of Pakistan. Our environmental initiatives transcend sustainability; they aim to secure a greener, more prosperous future for communities and the shared planet we call home.
Nova Foundation’s commitment to inclusivity extends to individuals with disabilities. We understand that genuine independence is the key to a fulfilling life. As a CIC, we provide a wide range of assistive devices, including wheelchairs, hearing aids, special toilet seats, walkers, and more. These are not mere aids; they are instruments of empowerment, enabling individuals with disabilities to lead lives of autonomy and dignity.
Access to healthcare remains a universal challenge, particularly in developing nations. Nova Foundation actively contributes to critical medical procedures that transform lives. This includes support for cataract surgeries, amputations for diabetics when medically necessary, and reconstructive surgeries to address issues like vaginal prolapse following childbirth. These seemingly minor procedures hold the power to restore an individual’s ability to lead a dignified and self-sufficient life.
In April 2022, we initiated the “Don’t Dis My Abilities” campaign. Our approach is not just about charity; it’s about empowerment. We gather data from local councils, hospitals, and disability-focused organizations to comprehensively assess individual needs. Our dedicated team personally engages with these individuals to understand their stories and gain first-hand insights into how their disabilities affect their daily lives. This participatory approach ensures that each person we serve has a voice in the process, articulating their most pressing needs. In some cases, we also provide financial support to those who possess the capacity and desire to work, fostering self-sufficiency not just for individuals but for entire families.
Nova Foundation, as a Community Interest Company, is not just a facilitator of change; we are the embodiment of change. Our commitment to inclusivity is not just a philosophy; it’s a lived reality that emanates from within communities. Together, we can construct a brighter, more equitable future for all. Join us in this transformative journey to change lives, one practical step at a time. At Nova Foundation, we don’t just envision a better world; we actively strive to make it a reality.

At the age of eight, my life took a sharp turn. My parents separated, leaving my mother and me to navigate a world suddenly devoid of stability. With finances tight and uncertainty looming, education became a distant dream.
When my mother remarried, hoping for a fresh start, I thought things might improve. Instead, my stepfather showed little interest in my education, preferring that I contribute financially to our household. My mother, too, was compelled to work, leaving me to fend for myself.
But amidst the struggle, a glimmer of hope emerged. At sixteen, I spotted a signboard advertising "Free Education for Girls at Nova School" while accompanying my mother to work. Intrigued, I persuaded her to inquire further.
Inside the school, hope blossomed into possibility. They offered education for girls free of charge, promising to prepare us for the 10th grade within three years. It was a lifeline, an opportunity to break free from the cycle of poverty.
With my mother's reluctant but unwavering support, I embarked on this journey. Each day, she dropped me off before heading to work and picked me up after school, ensuring my safety and commitment to my studies.
Through sheer determination, I not only completed my 10th grade but also pursued the equivalent of O levels, finishing my 11th and 12th grades within five years. Alongside academics, the school equipped me with practical skills like computer literacy and tailoring.
Armed with knowledge and resilience, I didn't stop at graduation. I leveraged my skills to start my own tailoring business, which eventually grew to serve clients worldwide.
As I reflect on my journey, gratitude fills my heart. To Nova School and, above all, my mother, I owe everything. Their unwavering belief in me transformed adversity into opportunity, allowing me not only to change my life but also to uplift others facing similar struggles.
