Masoud is a young man who lost his father at the age of eight. To continue with his studies and get a high school diploma, he had to work. He is now in his final year of the civil engineering program at university. To complete his master thesis, he badly needs a laptop. Although he works hard to save up money, it is hardly enough to cover for his food and university expenses. The Nikan Charity Foundation supports students like Masoud and we have donated a laptop to him. Masoud is now able to complete his thesis on his own computer. We wish him the best of luck in his studies.
