The Nur-Mubarak Public Foundation was established to raise charitable funds for the construction of a new academic building for the Nur-Mubarak Egyptian University of Islamic Culture.
The University is the leading centre of Islamic education in Kazakhstan. It trains specialists in Islamic studies, religious studies and translation; more than 80% of its graduates work for the benefit of society, strengthening religious literacy and national values.
The existing building was designed for 700 students, yet the University today has more than 3,300 enrolled. The new building will eliminate the shortage of academic space, expand educational programmes and create modern conditions for students, faculty and researchers.
