About Us – Kainaati Irtiqa

The universe has always been a source of inspiration, a vast expanse of unknowns waiting to be explored. Yet, for many in Pakistan and beyond, access to astronomy and space sciences remains a distant dream. Kainaati Irtiqa was founded with a singular purpose—to bridge this gap, to ignite curiosity, and to make the wonders of the cosmos accessible to all.

Charting a New Path to the Stars

Our Story – The Genesis of Kainaati Irtiqa
From our Founder "Mr. Mohammad Abdullah Hameed Rai"

As a child, I would often look up at the night sky, mesmerized by its infinite depth, filled with questions yet lacking the resources to find answers. Growing up in a world where astronomy was often viewed as an abstract curiosity rather than a tangible field of study, I felt the weight of inaccessibility. Books on astrophysics were scarce, telescopes were nearly unheard of, and conversations about the universe rarely extended beyond folklore and superstition.

But curiosity is relentless. My passion for space sciences drove me to self-learn, explore, and connect with the global scientific community, despite the lack of institutional support. However, I soon realized that my journey was not just personal—it was a reflection of a larger systemic issue. Thousands of students in Pakistan, particularly in underserved communities, share this thirst for knowledge but lack the means to quench it.

Thus, Kainaati Irtiqa was born—not merely as an initiative but as a movement. It is the embodiment of a dream where astronomy is not a luxury but a right, where scientific knowledge is not confined to textbooks but is lived, experienced, and explored. From the humble beginnings of classroom discussions and small workshops, we have grown into a nationwide initiative, reaching thousands of students, establishing telescope observation programs, and integrating space law and policy into mainstream discourse.

Our journey is far from over. We are building the next generation of astronomers, scientists, and policymakers, ensuring that no curious mind is left behind.

VISION:

To democratize access to astronomy and space sciences, fostering a society where curiosity thrives, innovation is nurtured, and space exploration is a shared endeavor.

• To bridge the gap between education and exploration, providing students with hands-on learning experiences that go beyond textbooks.

• To integrate space sciences with public discourse, making astronomy, astrophysics, and space policy accessible to the masses.

• To train and inspire future generations of scientists, engineers, and legal minds who will shape the future of space exploration.
• To foster international collaboration, ensuring that Pakistan has a seat at the global table in space research and policy.
• To explore the intersection of science and law, contributing to the discourse on space governance, ethics, and accessibility.
