It opened its doors in 1957 to welcome 40 blind girls, of whom the school age children enrolled in the school, while the older children joined the vocational training program.
Mission
The primary aim of Al Nour Wal Amal Association is to fulfill the rights of blind girls and women by providing them with free education, literacy programs, vocational training and job opportunities in order to develop their potentialities and their special abilities such as musical talents, to ensure their physical and psychological health and to allow them to develop their own identities and become self dependent integrated members of the society.
Impact
Today, the Association cares for 300 girls and women.The Music Institute Orchestra began as a group of 15 girls, and over the years developed into a Chamber Orchestra of 34 girls, with all four sections; strings, woodwind, brass and percussion, and has become the most famous part of the Nour Wal Amal Association. Several conductors have contributed to its activities.During the last twenty years, the Orchestra was trained and conducted by the late Maestro Ahmed Abul Eid, who had succeeded in developing special techniques and methods to enable the girls to perform as an orchestra without the need to read the notes while performing, and without the very essential dependence on the famous “batin” of the conductor. The Orchestra is composed of blind girls with different levels of music education. The girls learn to play their musical parts separately and they train twice a week as an orchestra.

n/aOur Themes
Goodgate is a social enterprise which connects donors to good causes, and promotes transparency, efficiency, and performance in philanthropy across the Muslim world. In short, we want to help ordinary people do good, better.
Our flagship website, Goodgate.org, is the place to find good causes from across the Muslim world, which encompasses over 1.5 billion people, 57 Muslim-majority (OIC) countries, and Muslim minority communities everywhere. We focus on the Muslim world because of its vast development challenges, the urgent need to modernize philanthropy in line with global standards, and because of the unique requirements of the Muslim donor, such as paying zakat. We hope that in some small way, Goodgate can help to mobilize the goodwill of the Muslim world and harness its philanthropic potential to produce better outcomes for people in need.
