Welcome
Not a business — a welfare society's commitment to its community.
Our changing world is full of challenges and opportunities for young people. Finding an institution that can provide an education to fully prepare them for what lies ahead is vital. Al-Asar Welfare Society is one of those providing such types of educational opportunity on elementary, secondary and now on degree level too.
The evolution of Al-Asar Academy, founded by the Al-Asar Welfare Society, is not the story of days; it is rather a continuous fruit of continuous effort which is still moving forward. Founded in 1993 as a middle level school, it sprung into full-fledged two separate sections for Boys and Girls from class Nursery to 12th. And now another milestone of graduation, degree level education, is achieved. It is located in a spacious area of about 200 Kanals outside the city, placed on the top of green hills in the middle of Kohat and Hangu district. Its panoramic site, tranquil atmosphere and pollution free environment have made it charming and attractive for all.
Al-Asar is not a private institution built for business purposes only, rather is a welfare society which every year offers free education (along with all academic expenses) for orphans and poor people in the shape of scholarships.
