Sarwar Foundation Hospitals
The Sarwar Foundation has set up two highly equipped and fully staffed hospitals in Rajana, Toba Tek Singh, and in Chichawatni, Sahiwal. The Foundation Hospital in Rajana was opened in 2005 and has the capacity to treat around 6,000 patients each year. Due to the success of the hospital in Rajana and generous contributions from caring donors, we were able to build a second hospital in Chichawatni in 2009. The Foundation Hospital in Chichawatni is a modern, sterile facility that treats almost 7,000 patients every year. Each hospital offers a 24-hour emergency service and has beds for 160 patients. The hospitals also have operating theatres, labour rooms, general and private wards, nurseries and a 24-hour ambulance service. Both the Rajana and Chichawatni hospitals offer quality healthcare and a full range of treatments completely free of charge for people who would otherwise have to go without. We are proud to say that the staff at our hospitals have safely and successfully delivered over 35,000 beautiful babies and treated more than 1.7 million patients in need, Allhamdulillah! .
Sarwar Foundation Public School
In Pakistan, one in every three boys is not in primary school. Nearly half of ALL girls in Pakistan are not attending primary school. Children are the future, and if we want it to be a bright future, we need to provide them with a quality education that will lead them to success. Founded in 2011, the Sarwar Foundation Public School offers its students a nurturing environment to foster positive growth and intellectual stimulation. A quality education is key to ending poverty in Pakistan – it allows children to achieve their career goals and strive towards a successful future. Just one extra year of schooling can increase a person’s wage by up to 10% in developing countries, meaning children who are given access to dedicated schools with strong curriculums and encouraging teachers are much more likely to succeed in their future endeavours.
HUNARGAHS: A PLACE FOR EMPOWERMENT
Women make up almost 50% of Pakistan’s population, but only 24% of the workforce. When they can find employment, it is often for insufficient salaries and long hours. The Sarwar Foundation is striving to change this by empowering women and inspiring them to unlock their potential by learning new skills in our HunarGah centres. The Sarwar Foundation’s HunarGah centres provide women of all ages with a safe place to learn new skill sets and refine their talents, so they can join the workforce and earn a living. Each centre offers women in need a vocational education completely free of charge and comes fully outfitted with the latest equipment and all necessary materials. HunarGah centres offer a selection of courses, such as dress design, sewing classes, handicraft making and computer training.
Clean Drinking Water for All
The majority of Pakistanis do not have access to clean drinking water. Over 50% of patients admitted to hospitals and 30% of deaths nationwide are linked to water borne diseases. The Sarwar Foundation is installing water filtration plants in various districts of Punjab including all jails and police lines across Pakistan. To date, over 2.2 million people have benefited from the Foundation’s clean water initiative. That’s 2.2 million people who previously didn’t have the basic human right of clean water. So far, we’ve installed over 170 filtration plants. But more are being built all the time! Delivering clean water is one of the simplest ways we can transform lives in Pakistan, ensuring people are healthier.
Standing Strong in Times of Crisis
Pakistan faces recurring floods, earthquakes, and climate driven emergencies that push vulnerable families into deeper hardship. The Sarwar Foundation is committed to providing immediate relief and long-term recovery support to affected communities. Our disaster response teams deliver essential aid including food, clean water, tents, hygiene kits, and first aid right where it is needed most.
We also work closely with local communities to rebuild homes, restore livelihoods, and strengthen resilience against future disasters. Every effort ensures that families can return to safety, stability, and hope after crisis strikes.
