Our Projects

Pakistan has a population of over 200 million, and people are living in extreme poverty. Healthcare infrastructure is weak, clean drinking water is not accessible, illiteracy and marginalization of women is prevalent. All of these issues have a crippling impact on the quality of human life.

We are empowering women, educating children, and providing clean drinking water and healthcare facilities to the people of Pakistan.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

50% of Pakistan’s population are women, but they make only 24% of the total workforce. Our HunarGahs empower women with new skills.

CLEAN DRINKING WATER FOR ALL

2 out of 3 people in Pakistan do not have access to clean drinking water. We are installing clean drinking water plants across the country.

QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL

5 out of every 10 children in Pakistan remain out of school. Our school in Punjab has 780 pupils and offers the highest quality of education.

HEALTH CARE

6 out of 9 people in Pakistan do not have access to adequate health care. We operate two state of the art hospitals, mobile health units and hundreds of medical camps…. Read More
