In 1968, the late HRH Prince Mohammed bin King Faisal (I) of Iraq El-Hashemite founded RASIT with a mission to provide education to whomever is in need.
Education transforms lives and is at the heart of RASIT's mission to build peace, eradicate poverty, and drive socio-economic sustainable development. All through times of change, RASIT’s mission has remained steadfast: to recuperate, enrich, and advance education, and make it accessible to everyone everywhere.
RASIT provides international leadership in education, strengthens education systems worldwide, and responds to contemporary global challenges through education with equality, accessibility, and inclusion as underlying principles. Its work encompasses educational development from preschool through higher education and beyond.
