In memoriam

The foundation was established in memory of the founder’s deceased relatives:

  • The parents: Hassan Abdulmajeed Hussein (1916 – 16 July 1991) and Samiyyeh Saleh Alahmad (1920 – 18 July 1993)
  • The eldest brother: Farouk Hassan Hussein (17 December 1939 – 29 August 2002)
  • The cousin: Dr. Phil. Ibrahim Lutuf Abdulmajeed (29 August 1954 – 6 June 2011)

The first three received little or only elementary education; nevertheless—or precisely for that reason—they strove to give their children and many others the best possible education and to support educational institutions. The fourth was a dedicated secondary-school teacher who educated many generations; he also continued his own education to doctoral level, which he completed despite serious illness only a few months before his death.
