Esther Masih-Khan is the Founding President of Open Hands Global.  She has a passion for learning and has spent many years following her academic aspirations. She feels blessed to be given the opportunity to pursue her dreams at some of the best schools and universities in Pakistan and the US that allowed her to achieve two Masters and a PhD degree.  She has used her education in many fields of research and is now working in hematological research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto.

Open Hands Global was founded to provide an educational opportunity to the children of the poorest communities.  Slum communities of Pakistan, marginalized for their religion, nature of work and social status are at the heart of this organization.  Esther believes every child deserves equal access to quality education so that they can reach their full potential and God given destiny.
