Faizal and Shabana Foundation has been at the fore of changing the infrastructure of educational institutions in Southern Indian states for some time now. Founded in 2007, by UAE-based businessman Faizal Kottikollon, founder of KEF Holdings, and his wife Shabana Faizal, the foundation has donated more than INR340m ($4.5m) for the rehabilitation of schools, based on a model of quickly replacing crumbling classrooms with prefabricated structures.
