Empowering Shiite Youth Through Education and Community

Misbah Trust is a newly established charitable organization founded to support youth from Shiite communities in the West pursuing higher education.

Welcome to Misbah Trust

Our goal is to empower the Shiite youth living in the West with the right education, guidance and community, shining a light on the path forward.

Our work rests on the understanding that knowledge is a trust, and education is a responsibility owed both to ourselves and the communities that raised us.

Through financial support, mentorship and access to a meaningful network of peers and professionals, we help students move through university and into working life with strength and clarity. We are building relationships with universities across Europe and the United States to create real pathways for capable young people who deserve the chance to succeed without compromising their faith, their heritage or their obligations to family and community.

Lighting the Path Forward

We aren’t just running programs; we are building a foundation for your future:
