Bahrain Trust Foundation was established to provide Bahrainis with a supportive ecosystem that will equip them with the necessary tools and practical solutions to secure their chances for a better future.

To realize its mission of enabling self-empowerment and help improve standards of living, the foundation provides venues for education, health and economic improvement and utilizes practical models to deliver services to communities.
