The Hindawi Foundation operates with the stated mission of democratizing knowledge for Arabic speakers globally. Its primary initiative is building what it describes as the largest free online Arabic library, a digital collection that provides open access to a wide range of texts. The library contains over 3,200 free books, covering subjects from literature, science, and philosophy to children's stories.
A specific initiative under the foundation, named Booktime, concentrates on children's literature. This project aims to foster an early appreciation for reading among young audiences. The foundation's work sits at the intersection of education, cultural enrichment, and publishing, and it serves Arabic-speaking communities worldwide.
