Take a glimpse of Shamsa’s mission at how it changes lives. Our gallery brings you stories of women changing struggles into bravery, and dreams into beautiful, bold realities.
A heartfelt tribute that grew into a strong movement. Shamsa Foundation continues to inspire, teach, and empower women to lead vibrant, independent lives.
Shamsa Foundation began 12 years ago in Pakistan, founded by Sarfraz Subhani in the loving memory of Shamsa Imtiaz. With a powerful desire to inspire vulnerable women, the foundation started with just 12 women in a small local space. With heartfelt support from Sarfraz’s family, especially his father as the main donor, the foundation laid its roots. Shamsa grew into a mission of hope, offering skills, training, and an opportunity for women to rebuild their lives with dignity, independence, and the belief that every woman deserves a chance to rise equally.
Foundation Established
With every success story, more females found their way to Shamsa. We offer two powerful pathways, i.e, Digital and Traditional courses, designed to train girls with valuable, income-generating skills. In this program, you’ll learn graphic design, accounting, embroidery, and sewing. We proudly run these courses at our Shamsa Foundation center in Guliana, Tehsil Kharian, District Gujrat. Age is no barrier, just the will to learn. For the digital track, students need Matric, Basic English, and Computer skills. Our learners are now earners and changemakers in their own homes and communities. We’re constantly adding new programs to develop stronger skills and go further in life.
At Shamsa Foundation, we believe every woman deserves the chance to rise. Our 3-month skill-building courses in both digital and traditional are designed to support you completely. At the end of each course, students receive an official certificate as a symbol of achievement and progress. Shamsa has already empowered many talented women. Now, it’s your turn to step forward, shine with belief, and claim your place in the world with the power of your skills. We’re expanding our centers so more females can benefit from Shamsa and become independent, and make their future with their own hands.
Each figure reflects a story of modification, the power of progress, and communities growing stronger through education.
