President’s Message

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

Dear Supporters and Friends,

As we step into the year 2024, we find ourselves facing challenges that continue to impact the lives of many. Inflation rates and economic uncertainties have pushed a significant portion of our population towards the poverty line. Business owners are grappling with concerns about the stability of their ventures, while employed individuals are burdened by the weight of daily expenses, rental payments, soaring electricity bills, education costs, and the basic needs of sustenance for their children’s health and well-being. For the underprivileged, these necessities remain intangible dreams.

Reflecting on a decade of dedicated work, I am reminded that our country has faced enduring struggles since its independence, with persistent issues such as poverty, unemployment, economic crises, inadequate access to daily meals, clean drinking water, and healthcare services.

Nevertheless, I wish to express my profound gratitude to Allah Almighty for placing compassionate individuals in our midst. These kind-hearted souls have consistently stood by us during challenging moments, wholeheartedly contributing to our educational initiatives, healthcare services, clean water projects, and food support programs that aim to alleviate the hardships faced by numerous families in regions such as Umerkot, Naukot, Mithi, Islamkot, Tharparkar, Nagarparkar, and Mirpurkhas. Their support has undeniably made the lives of these families a little more bearable. At present, Al-Madad has successfully provided education to over 650 children across various campuses, while our medical camps continue to offer annual care to thousands of patients, ensuring access to quality medicine and treatment.

Our vision is clear. We aim to continue to empower the inhabitants of these areas with good health, skills and education, so we get to see the day when these skillful individuals nurtured by Al-Madad will emerge as the bright future of our country, InshaALLAH, While the path is challenging, it is not insurmountable. With the grace of Allah, we are confident that success is within reach.

In conclusion, my friends and supporters, I humbly acknowledge that I cannot accomplish all this alone. Your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of many innocent children and their families. I invite you to join us in our ongoing efforts.

Who We Are

Al-Madad is a group of professionals from different walks of life who gathered three years ago with a common goal which is to eradicate illiteracy and nurture the complete development of an individual. Al-Madad team began its services with humble beginnings in the year 2014 with the objective to provide free of cost Education, health supplies and Food for the under-privileged families in our country. Our team initiated this project in Saman Goth, a village 35 km from District Mirpurkhas. Al-Madad’s philosophy is very simple, which emphasizes that people in remote areas who live in extreme poverty also need to be connect to the outside world. Once we sustain their basic needs we can help them connect to communities from other walks of life and facilitate their lives for a better tomorrow. We believe in a transition from poverty stricken villages to well develop and prosperous communities. We have successfully accomplished few projects based on our aims to support the learning, physical and mental development progress of children at the village.
