Projects

Children in villages across Sindh typically spend their days grazing livestock, sitting at tea shops or playing on farmland. Many of them are enrolled in government schools but don't attend; those who do, receive a very poor quality of education. We aim to provide quality education through our schools, skills training programs and scholarship fund that helps buy school supplies for children.

Impoverished communities in rural Sindh either rely on faith healers and untrained dispensers when someone falls sick or take on high-interest loans to pay for expensive private clinics in the city. Through our free Virtual Clinic run in collaboration with HealthX, we aim to provide adequate primary healthcare services to the public. For specialist care and complex surgery, we run a medical assistance program that takes care of patients in Larkana, Sukkur and Karachi. Our aim is to ensure the poor get access to the same medical care that affluent people do.

Barren, derelict villages are the hallmark of Sindh. We are working to provide basic facilities such as playgrounds, activity centers, libraries, sanitation systems, public toilets and public water hand-pumps to make daily life easier and more productive for village communities.

Our loan program aims to provide small, interest-free loans to women so they can set up vegetable shops, sell fabric, rear goats or produce traditional handicrafts to help supplement the family income. We also give out loans to small entrepreneurs looking to expand their businesses.

Most families in rural Sindh live without proper shelter, clean water, toilets, kitchens, electricity or cooking gas. One village at a time, we are working to provide these families with these very basic facilites that ensure the safety, comfort and dignity every single person deserves and has a right to.

Villages across Sindh were devastated by the unprecedented rains and floods of 2022. Hundreds of thousands lost their homes and suffered through sickness, injuries and loss of income. Established in 2008, the focus of the Ali Hasan Mangi Memorial Trust is to uplift the lives of people in impoverished village communities in Sindh, through integrated rural development. Fourteen years on, the Trust has worked in almost 250 villages in 3 districts of the province. Our core focus areas are Community Infrastructure, Family Assistance, Healthcare and Education. In August, we provided flood affectees with shelter, food, basic supplies and medical care. Then, we moved to providing dry rations to hundreds of families in dozens of villages. In midSeptember, we got to the major task of rehabilitation as thousands lost their homes. Helping rebuild homes will remain our focus in the months ahead. In a country already battling an economic crisis and political instability, this flooding has set our most vulnerable people back in the most unfathomable way. Please help make their lives a little easier at this most difficult time.
