Chairperson Message

We began with the broad idea to help students in need of financial assistance to complete their studies. Over time & specially during the pandemic situation, we came to realise that there several students at Royal International School who's families have faced hardships - with some having lost the breadwinner of the family - leading to a severe disruption in the schooling life of these young students.

As such, the Royal Foundation for Education was galvanised into action & I am truly happy that we have already ensured the continued education of so many students with us. Together, we can make a greater impact than if we stand alone"
