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.

Taykdaar Munir Hussain of Jhelum donates the Jaan Sadiq Memorial Building to PakTrust as Sadqa Jaria for his belated Father and Mother. Ironically, the building was officially opened by his late father only a month before his sudden and completly unexpected death. He was an inspiration and father to us all at PakTrust and we pray to Allah Subhanah that he rewards him a place in Jannah. We thank Taykdaar Munir for his kind gift to PakTrust and no doubt this will serve as great Sadqa Jaria for his late parents.
