About the Khuda Family Foundation
The Khuda Family Foundation was established to contribute to the growth and wellbeing of the Asia Pacific region, with a focus on increasing STEM skills and the number of women in technology, as well as mental health uplift and domestic violence prevention.
In 2025, the foundation announced a ground-breaking A$100m STEM program with the University of Sydney, to create a pathway for students into STEM education and careers, with a focus on women from Western Sydney. The program was the largest philanthropic gift the University has ever received and the largest STEM program in Australia.
