MESSAGE BY THE CEO

It is indeed a privilege to present the Fazilia Trust Pakistan’s annual report for the year 2016-2017. There was a dire need to put out an inclusive narrative not only for the marketing purpose but to contribute to the learning, experience and lessons learned over the period. Fazilia has also witnessed various phases of self-development, community growth, and sustainability besides achieving some milestones in our thematic areas in the year with the help and contribution of our able and proficient team. By the grace of Allah we have also been successful in expanding the scope of our activities and to reach the marginalized segments of the society.

With this publication we aim to provide visibility to our efforts. We also aim to open a window and focus attention towards the incredible good work being done by the Fazilia in promoting sustainable philanthropic work instead of cosmetic and adhoc measures.

During the year we participated in community growth, infrastructure expansion for health and education. Conducted relief operations for poverty alleviation in shape of Ramzan/Eid packages, monthly income support Programmes, skill development and women empowerment. Fazilia conducted awareness raising workshops and organized walks for different thematic areas in the remote villages of AJ&K, KP and Punjab.

Community participation remained the hallmark of are all activities which did not only ensure a successful development but also sustainable social growth.

I would like to extend my gratitude to all our well wishers, donors and partners for their help and support.
