Sponsor hope, empower Pakistan's orphans

Project Report for Alkhidmat Orphan Care Program

Annual Health Screening for Brave Children

As part of our commitment to the well-being of orphaned children, Alkhidmat Orphan Care Program conducted its annual "Health Screening" event at Alkhidmat Hospital in North Karachi. This event was organized to ensure that each child receives necessary medical care and support for a healthier life.

The screening session was attended by Director of Community Services Alkhidmat Karachi Qazi Syed Sadruddin, Deputy District Amir Suhail Zaidi, and other respected officials who came to show their support for the children and the healthcare team. During the screening, doctors thoroughly examined the children’s eyes, teeth, ears, nose, throat, and general health conditions. Medications were prescribed for those in need, and some children requiring further dental and eye treatments were identified. Alkhidmat is committed to covering the costs of these treatments to ensure that every child receives essential medical care.

This health screening initiative reflects our dedication to the holistic care of the children in our program, going beyond education to safeguard their physical health. With your support, we can continue to provide these valuable services, contributing to brighter, healthier futures for these resilient children. Thank you for standing by us in this mission.
