List of Top 16 Trust Organizations in Pakistan

In a developing country like Pakistan, almost 60 million people are living below the poverty line. These are the people who are found living under bridges, on footpaths, on various platforms of the railway station as well as in crowded slums.

When they cannot even afford to fulfill their minimal need like having two times proper meals for their whole family, how can we expect them to deposit thousands of rupees in cash at the hospital counter, to initiate their treatment or surgeries in emergency situations?

When these helpless people do not receive free treatment from public or private hospitals, they rush to medical trusts or nonprofit organizations out of desperation to save their lives.

The majority of people living below the poverty line have compromised with their fates. They do not wish for a luxurious life neither they want unlimited riches to fulfill their materialistic desires. They believe even their monotonous life could have been peaceful if only they could get access to their basic human rights without financial hardships or resistance.

Trust organizations have created a positive ripple in society through their charitable services for the poor. These organizations sponsor treatment for poor men, women, and children across the country that does not have the ability to access expensive medical care. Their charitable services have provided great relief to families of individuals affected by life-threatening diseases.

Here is the list of top 16 Trust Organizations in Pakistan, that are assisting the poor population to cope up with their everyday living costs and are providing some breathing space amidst their struggling lives.

Conclusion

Trust Organizations have established themselves to be an integral part of our society, by cultivating a deep sense of reliability among people where the governmental organizations have failed them, and no longer enjoy the full faith of the public.

There is nothing new about governments offering incredibly broad and ambitious healthcare programs to ensure treatment for all across the country because we have seen these programs bringing no results due to heavily bureaucratic systems.

On the other side, we cannot sit idle and hope that the government alone will be able to solve all our societal issues one day. It is near to impossible because the government tries to solve every issue through an excess of rules and procedures, instead of proposing creative solutions to them. This is a big reason why our societal issues persist year after year, decade after decade, without getting resolved one day.

Trust organizations are working on their objective to build an equitable healthcare system for all. They are promoting health through life courses and are fighting both Non-communicable and Communicable diseases in order to empower individuals, communities, and countries.

Trust organizations are not allowed to make profits which means they need our help, to run their charitable projects for the betterment of millions of people across the country. Our financial aid to these organizations can spell hope in the life of the poor and needy, by giving them access to free healthcare and other basic needs.

Let us help the disadvantaged people to get the best start in life. Donate to any of these top 16 trust organizations in Pakistan to make a difference in the lives of poor and unhappy lives. Donate Now!
