History

The Al-Qadir Trust was founded in 2019 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). 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.
