PakTrust original work was in the earthquake effected areas of Kashmir and Pakistan. Whilst this continues through our artifical limbs project, we are committed to the old saying, that “Charity Begins at Home”. With this in mind, the bulk of our recent activity has been in our maternal and paternl homelands of Jhelum and Mirpur Azad Kashmir. These are areas which we are very familiar to us, and in places the need for help is paramount and we endeavour to provide this help through our projects.
