From a Tent to a National NGO

What began as a single relief operation in the aftermath of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake has grown into one of Pakistan's trusted non-governmental organisations.

Our story is one of ordinary people doing extraordinary things and of donors whose generosity made every milestone possible.
