Message from the Chairman
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem.
When we started, we were a handful of neighbours with a few sacks of flour. Today, by the grace of Allah and the generosity of thousands of donors, we serve families across Islamabad every single day.
Every rupee given to this trust is an amanah. That is why we publish our audited accounts, explain how restricted donations are kept separate, and are building a donor portal so you can see the projects you fund.
Thank you for walking this path with us.
Yousaf Haider Saqlain
