Who We Are — Sabrina Memorial Foundation

Our Vision

The Sabrina Memorial Foundation started with a young woman’s dream to help mankind. Sabrina Salam was an inspiring woman, a caring mother, a loving sister. and an adored daughter who had devoted her life to helping others. When she unexpectedly left this world in 2011, her dream of helping others was left unfulfilled. In honor of Sabrina’s devotion to helping those in need, her family and friends took it upon themselves to pursue her humanitarian causes to turn her dreams into a reality.

Sabrina Memorial Foundation strives to make education accessible and affordable to all, focusing on low income families in rural areas of the world. The Academy aims to educate individuals to make them morally-upright and equipped with knowledge and technical skills so that they may provide guidance, service, and leadership wherever they may be. To provide high quality education for girls and boys along with hands-on technical training is our vision for the world.
