In Pakistan, millions of people live below the poverty line. These people, many of them elderly, cannot afford basic health care. Without treatment that could cure or make their ailments manageable, their quality of life suffers. In some cases, their illnesses can prove fatal without intervention.
Akhuwat runs healthcare projects for underprivileged communities in Pakistan. We provide examinations and consultations without charge, followed by subsidised medicines and laboratory tests, where necessary. To date we’ve provided half a million people with treatment for diabetes, tuberculosis, hepatitis and other prevalent conditions that require long-term management and care, without any charge.
By donating to the Akhuwat Health Centre, you can help an elderly person get the treatment he/she needs to manage an illness which might otherwise prove fatal.
In 2009, Akhuwat established a health centre in Township, Lahore. Over the years, we’ve expanded the facility in order to respond to the growing needs of the local community. Today, the Akhuwat Health Centre includes a specialist Diabetes Centre, a Gynaecology Clinic, a Psychiatric Clinic, and a General Clinic.
The staff who work here are compassionate medical professionals who devote their time and talents to serving the poor.
By donating to the Akhuwat Health Centre, you’ll be providing urgent medical aid that could improve and even save the life of someone in need.
Sometimes, even the best medical care isn’t enough to save a life. And when children are affected, we feel altogether helpless. This is why Akhuwat runs the ‘Gifts of their Dreams’ Project; a project that’s very close to our hearts. For terminally-ill children from poor families, ‘Gifts of their Dreams’ provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Through it, we give children who haven’t long to live, a gift or experience they’ve always dreamed of.
As part of this project, Akhuwat also runs playrooms in public hospitals. For paediatric patients, who often spend many months in hospitals, our playrooms serve as a space in which they can be children again. Through play, learning and social interaction with other kids, they can overcome the psychological challenges associated with prolonged periods of illness and treatment.
By donating to our ‘Gifts of their Dreams’ project, you can give a child that doesn’t have long to live, the best day of his/her life.
Akhuwat provides collateral- and interest-free loans to underprivileged families so they can help themselves out of poverty. With one of the highest loan return rates in the world, Akhuwat continues to transform lives one loan at a time. Akhuwat is registered in the UK with the charities commission (registered charity number 1136317)
