Help Robina Afzal Raise Funds for Abaseen Foundation

Don’t forget! I am taking part in the 2024 Trek to Mount Toubkal. You can donate to that here ➔

Following four years of working with Abaseen Foundation, my family have been touched with the stories of the plight of the children & their families living in the remote villages of Pakistan.

I implore you all to please give generously, as they have never undergone anything as challenging as this in their lives, and support us in raising funds to build a better future for the orphans, widows, and underprivileged children. This campaign is dedicated to our late parents.

Here’s an example of the difference your generosity can make to some of the poorest people on Earth:

Contribute towards the building of schools

Help ensure clean water for drinking

Sponsor children left orphaned

Contribute towards the building of homes for the homeless

The charity is a lifeline to changing the future of these children. By empowering them with education and good health we are supporting the next generation to become self-sufficient. Please don’t forget to tick the Gift Aid box as this will help increase your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you.

With thanks to:

Maira Babar - £10
Khawer Arif - £10
Tazeen Usmani - £2500

Abaseen’s Impact Over the Last 20 Years

Since we were formed over 20 years ago, we’ve worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people in North West Pakistan. Here’s a small sample of our achivements so far:

EDUCATION

  1. Educating girls in an area where literacy level for girls was less than 3%.

  2. We recently opened a degree college for girls to enable girls to progress to a university education.

  3. It isn’t all about knowledge! We have a very successful vocational training college for girls and boys with a wide range of skills to develop and enterprising aspect that provides apprentices with the tools they need to continue and develop their own business.

HEALTH

  1. We provide basic health care to people in the area who would otherwise have no access to health care at all.

  2. We have introduced a much-needed well-being for women service which addresses period poverty.

  3. We offer an x-ray service within the community without which they would need to take time off work and pay the expenses to go to Peshawar. This basic and essential imaging technology would otherwise be inaccessible due to cost.

HUMANITARIAN RELIEF

  1. 2005 earthquake

  2. Floods in Swat Vallery in 2010

  3. More recent floods in Swat, where we raised £135,000 to respond to the catastrophe

And finally - we stand ready to respond to any future disasters. Given the escalating climate crisis, there will almost certainly be more, and we have recently started looking at how we address climate sensitive projects.

Our partnership with our creative agency means we can launch a humanitarian appeal within 90 minutes.

RESEARCH

We attract funds to complete action based research to underpin our education, health and other projects.
