Makkah Foundation

It was in mid 80's that Syed Ihsan Ullah Waqas and Mr Liaqat Baloch, the founder members of The Makkah Foundation and eminent social workers, realized the need for setting up a superior quality school that could provide quality education to the children of indigent and lower middle class at an affordable expense. A piece of land measuring 66 kanals, in a comparatively underdeveloped area of Southern Lahore, was purchased by the Foundation from the Department of Housing & Physical Planning, Govt of the Punjab,in July 1989. The ground breaking ceremony of the Foundation's first educational venture, The Punjab School, was held on 14th August 1990. This School took a modest start with Preschool, Junior & Girls High School in April 1992 and Boys High School in April 1994 in three blocks of single-storey buildings. During the period of nine years, after its inception, some more philanthropists and social workers joined hands towards promoting this cause that enabled us to add a separate block of Junior School, another storey of Preschool, and two floors each of Boys and Girls Schools in addition to constructing a multipurpose hall and a swimming pool.
