About The Dawood Foundation

The Dawood Foundation (TDF) was the “materialization of a decade-old dream” of the founder, Ahmed Dawood which became a reality in 1960. TDF was conceived as an educational foundation whose main focus was to support and promote educational initiatives in the fields of Science, Technology, and Research.

The Foundation believes in empowering individuals through education to create a collective change. From establishing educational institutions, TDF has morphed into formulating learning spaces that serve everyone. Moving from formal education to informal education has been exciting, giving our projects more flexibility, dynamism, and interactivity to try new ways of engaging with people. We aim to inspire everyone to explore and understand the world around them and to discover and enjoy science.
