Barakat

About the organization

The Barakat Trust was founded as a UK charity in 1987 by two of its founding trustees, Hamida Alireza and Shahnaz Bagherzade. The Barakat Trust was therefore set up to train, educate and enable new generations of professionals committed to preserving the heritage of the Islamic world, and to provide support and nurture their professional growth. Many of The Trust’s grantees are today leading practitioners and academics in the field.
