About Us

Why?

We—Reyaan, Minha, and Zara Ansari—started the foundation back in 2015. 

Annual visits to our family's home country, Pakistan, made us witness the lack of access children have to education.

 

The Ansari Lionman Foundation is dedicated to giving scholarships and promoting public education reform in Pakistan through fundraisers.

 

But we aren't alone. Through collaboration with The Citizens Foundation, we aim to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged Pakistanis, creating a brighter future for all. 

Because education shouldn't be unattainable, when it's a necessity.

What can you do?

Donate—It's that simple.

Through fundraisers in Chicago and Pakistan, we have given 62 scholarships. But that's just the start.

Donate to our proud partner, The Citizens Foundation, and help reform education in Pakistan. 

What Defines the Foundation. 

Creating Lasting Impact

Education

Empower Through Knowledge.

Our educational initiatives focus on providing underprivileged Pakistanis with the necessary knowledge and skills for a better future. We offer scholarship and support to enhance personal and professional development, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow.

Partners

Building Strong Communities.

It's impossible to make change alone. That's why we are constantly working with The Citizens Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization. TCF has over 12.5k volunteers who are Pakistan's leading advocates for public education reform.

Awareness

Educate. Collaborate. Transform.

Raising awareness is key to driving change. Our campaigns focus on educating the public, empowering individuals to take action, and transforming lives through advocacy and outreach efforts that highlight the importance of education reform.
