Alkhidmat Karachi Competitors

Since opening in 1994, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, has come to be recognized as one of the most credible charities in Pakistan. Currently, 75% of all cancer patients seen at our Hospitals are receiving financial support.

Al-Hamdollilah! By the grace of Allah, this organization is serving the poor and the distressed people of our society since 5th May 1999. We are a part of a society where the majority of the people residing in villages and towns are living below the poverty line and even deprived of the basic necessities of life. Now let us take a look at the life of the people living in cities, where unfortunately living conditions are not much different. If we examine their family size, we find a very painful situation, where in a small rented house the husband and the wife with their four children survive with a very low earning. n today’s world where inflation is at its peak, it is impossible for them to pay for their electricity, children’s education and any medical treatment of any family member. How will the head of the family be able to provide for the needs of his children?? The result: he takes loans. He is not to be blamed because he is responsible to provide three meals a day for his family and he is forced to use the wrong means to fulfill his family’s needs.

Our areas of work include reforming public schools, educating working children and lobbying the government to improve education policy. Our flagship project of school reform is the SMB Fatima Jinnah Government School in Karachi , which has been transformed to a vibrant centre of learning through a combination of infrastructural development, administrative upheaval, academic reform and the introduction of extra-curricular activities and student development courses such as art, sports, chess, health and abuse awareness workshops, etc. We envision this school as a model that we continuously present to the government to be adopted and replicated in public schools across the country. We have recently taken up the management of Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls School in Karachi where we are demonstrating how to replicate this model. We also run a non-formal education programme, called Paid to Learn, which provides primary education to working children from urban slums across Pakistan.
