Mission:
Our mission is to save, transform and create fulfilling lives of those in need. Our values are driven by social justice, the principles of equality and fairness, promoting greater diversity, and a sense of pride in our history and communities by providing access to quality healthcare and clean drinking water, and tackling poverty by educating children, empowering women, and helping those in need in Pakistan and across the world.

Education:
We aim to improve educational opportunities in Pakistan with our two educational institutes at Pir-Mahal and Barki Road Lahore.
Women empowerment:
We aim to increase women empowerment in Pakistan, through HunarGah (skilled development training centers ) which enable women to learn multiple skills.

Chair Person
Perveen Sarwar is the driving force behind the Sarwar Foundation. She was born in Pakistan and moved to Scotland at the age of four. She has devoted her life to charitable projects, and returned to Pakistan in 2013. She is passionate about women empowerment and established HunarGahs (skill training centres), to enable women to learn skills, go on to start successful businesses and find suitable employment to support their families and make their lives better.
Our Projects
Pakistan has a population of over 200 million, and people are living in extreme poverty. Healthcare infrastructure is weak, clean drinking water is not accessible, illiteracy and marginalization of women is prevalent. All of these issues have a crippling impact on the quality of human life.
We are empowering women, educating children, and providing clean drinking water and healthcare facilities to the people of Pakistan.
WOMEN
EMPOWERMENT
50% of Pakistan’s population are women, but they make only 24% of the total workforce. Our HunarGahs empower women with new skills.
CLEAN DRINKING WATER FOR ALL
2 out of 3 people in Pakistan do not have access to clean drinking water. We are installing clean drinking water plants across the country.
QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL
5 out of every 10 children in Pakistan remain out of school. Our school in Punjab has 780 pupils and offers the highest quality of education.
MKSF EDUCATION & HEALTH
This project covers MKSF Hospital, MKSF Nursing College, Diabetes Care Centre, MKSF Girls’ School & College, and HunarGah Centre.
