Chairman's MessageI am very happy to introduce our NGO “Sahara Welfare Foundation” to you. On behalf of my NGO, I welcome you warmly as we are watching closely that millions of children are a big example of child labor in our country. With such aims and objectives, it was established having a strong message of solution for society in terms of the betterment of the poor and downtrodden people who are needy of our attention and deserve our help. Our mission will strengthen the poor and needy ones in all walks of life. It is a non-political and fully charitable Foundation, helping people who are deprived in our societies and still their dreams of real is a miracle and not looking to be fulfilled like other ones of society. Sahara Welfare Foundation has been working for the empowerment of economic, cultural, and educational development in weaker sections, especially in minority-dominated areas where still schools do not exist on a large scale. |

The increasing complexity of social issues is placing a greater burden not only on governments but also on individuals. Many people now feel that it is not possible to solve these problems by relying on public services alone. In response, more people want to do something to help solve society’s problems and are showing increased interest in activities that make a social contribution. Companies have become more involved in activities that reflect a stronger awareness of their corporate social responsibility (CSR), and nonprofit and volunteer activities have also become well established. There is a growing movement to join hands and work together toward achieving a society sustained by mutual support. The Sahara Welfare Foundation's most valuable asset is the network of people and organizations that we have created through our activities over the past sixteen (16) years. We know from experience that bringing people together creates synergies. Our priority is solving actual problems on the ground. We engage in lively discussions with nonprofit organizations, corporations, governments, international organizations, researchers, and volunteers to arrive at possible solutions, and to initiate and implement projects. The Sahara Welfare Foundation strives to apply the knowledge and experience we have accumulated over the years, and in cooperation with others, works to solve the issues that confront our society today. The modern world is passing through a crucial phase as the gap between the rich and the poor is augmenting day by day. Everyone is becoming a target of discrimination. People who have are not willing to share with those who are helpless and those who are living on the edge of their lives. But these people are not alone; Sahara Welfare Foundation is standing with them, informing them about their rights, defending their rights at all levels, and confronting inequality and intolerance wherever they are found. We approach this pillar with humility, mindful of the fact that all members have human rights challenges. And we embrace it with purpose, knowing that those challenges must be met, both for the cause of human rights itself, and for the benefit of peace and development. That is our identity and our mission. We are a growing non-profit, non-political, and non-governmental organization based on an integrated team of dedicated individuals whose sole slogan is “Empowering the underprivileged” and who believe in the fact that “God helps those who help others”. May God support our purpose and help us shape a better community. I would like to thank all the donors, organizations, Bank Al-Habib LTD, stakeholders, and well-wishers for their valuable support and cooperation extended to Sahara Welfare Foundation for carrying out its activities smoothly. I also express my sincere thanks to the members of the Governing Board for their valuable support and suggestions, and all the staff members of Sahara Welfare Foundation for their diligence and hard work to attain the mission and goals of Sahara Welfare Foundation.
