Humanitarian Organizations in Pakistan

Introduction

The nature of human rights can vary, and their diversification is a topic that is too vast to be covered in this discussion. What is satisfying to know is that several organizations are trying to protect these rights of the common man. In this discussion, it is these humanitarian organizations that we are going to talk about, with a special reference to Pakistan. Pakistan is a third world country, where there are several human rights issues prevalent, the most important ones of which are of course lack of education, non-provision of food and scarcity of basic medical amenities. Here, in the upcoming passages, we are going to talk about the top 10 humanitarian organizations in Pakistan that are working tirelessly to maintain the global standards of human rights in the country.

1- Transparent Hands

Provision of basic medical facilities, free of cost to every citizen of the state, is not a dream coming true any sooner in Pakistan. In such a deplorable state of affairs in the healthcare sector of the country, it is platforms like Transparent Hands that give us real hope. One of the biggest crowdfunding platforms working for the provision of free medical services in Pakistan, Transparent Hands provides visibility to underprivileged patients. The NGO also builds a personal and trusted bond between patients and donors while ensuring complete transparency. It also sets up free medical camps in the rural areas of Pakistan in which, free medical consultation, free medicines, and free diagnostic tests are provided to the deserving patients.

Additionally, they support the needy across the country by providing shelter, clothes, food, and sanitation systems. To empower those who belong to underprivileged communities and cannot meet their basic needs due to financial hardships, the organization has launched several initiatives such as livelihood and skill development programs. They give special attention to widows and orphans. The organization understands the need to nurture leadership in Pakistan through trainings and educational programs. Shifa Foundation makes a lasting and sustainable difference with this approach.
