Hindawi Foundation

The Hindawi Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to knowledge and fostering a lifelong love of reading through free, multilingual educational resources. Guided by the belief that "Reading Changes Everything," the foundation works to remove linguistic, financial, and geographic barriers so people around the world can access high-quality books and educational content regardless of their background.

Originally established to address the shortage of accessible Arabic reading materials, the foundation built an extensive digital library of translated works, classic literature, and original publications that remain freely available to readers. Today, its mission extends globally through initiatives such as Booktime, a charitable publishing program that provides free illustrated children's books in multiple languages, helping young readers develop literacy skills while celebrating diverse cultures and languages.

The foundation also advances global access to information through innovative technologies, including AI-powered translation tools that make books accessible across language barriers. As a registered charity operating internationally, the Hindawi Foundation combines publishing, education, and technology to create inclusive learning opportunities and promote literacy, cultural exchange, and lifelong learning for readers around the world.
