A/Cdr Rizwanullah Khan (17th Entry) embraced shahadat in the fatal PAF air crash in Kohat on 20-Feb-2003. His family has since formed a Trust in his memory and of those who were with him on that date. The Trust got registered on April 2, 2003 as a non-profit, non-political, non-government organization in Islamabad.
The Trust intends to provide sustainable scholarships to capable children, those who qualify the entrance criteria for specific educational institutions but can not afford to attend these, so that they may get a chance to use their intellect, develop their skills, improve their quality of life and, eventually, add to the nation’s pool of skilled human resource.
Air Cdr (Rtd) Rais Ahmad Rafi has been appointed as the Chairman of the Trust. Other members include, Begum Zubaida Abdullah, Begum Roohina Rafi, Mrs. Samina Rizwan, Air Cdr Khalid Pervez Marwat, Gp Capt Aminullah Khan, Captain Imran Khan, Umar Rafi and Dr. Ayesha Farooq.
An amount of Rs. 500,000 has been donated on behalf of Air Cdre Rizwanullah Khan Shaheed from the flyers’ insurance received by his family. he family has additionally pledged Rs. 15,000 every month to meet the expenses.
