Faisal Ghias

Faisal received his Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration. There he pursued his interest in nonprofit management, philanthropy, and strategic planning.

Living in Northbrook, IL (USA) with his wife and two children, Faisal realised that spirituality can creatively address the issues facing contemporary society. He then became one of the founding directors of the Oasis Initiative. He helped launch the Zawiyah program, a holistic spiritual and educational retreat that brings together leading scholars, thought leaders and students from around the world to discuss relevant issues facing the community.

Faisal has recently led a medical mission in The Gambia, providing free healthcare for the local population.
