 INTRODUCTION
Khidmat-e-Khalq foundation (KKF) is one of the very famous NGO in Pakistan. Political
and religious parties and social organizations ought to perform their due share in this
service to humanity. Any political movement, which renders service to humanity, is
no less than a prayer itself. Unfortunately, in our country, political and religious
organizations have divested themselves of this responsibility, assuming it to be the
prerogative of social organizations. Political and religious organizations have
constantly claimed that when they come to power they will take necessary steps to
eradicate the ills of poverty, destitution, hunger and illiteracy. They believe that
service to humanity cannot be accomplished without controlling the reigns of power.
The MQM, however, in Pakistan is the only organization, which has proved that even
without being in power it has nevertheless managed to achieve and set considerable
examples of service to humanity.

The Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) comes under the jurisdiction of the MQM. It is
a highly organized, active and effective social organization. Its services are spread
over a very wide spectrum which does not only include Karachi, Hyderabad and other
urban areas of Sindh, but today, the KKF is known throughout the country for its social
services.

The MQM didn’t give birth to the KKF. The MQM was formed on 18th March, 1984
whereas the APMSO was formed on 11th June, 1978. Through their intense commitment
to serve the poor students and destitute people, Mr. Altaf Hussain and his colleagues
formed the KKC (Khidmat-e-Khalq Committee) in 1978. (The KKC was transformed into
KKF, i.e. - Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation in January 1998)

In the early 1980's the KKF actively participated in providing aid in various localities,
along with educational institutions. In the city's numerous localities various, programs
were organized, at different times, where sewing machines for poor widows,
mattresses, quilts, clothing and cash amount were distributed and poor students
received course books and cash amount to pay their fees.

In 1984, Mr. Altaf Hussain formed the MQM. As the MQM gained popularity with the
public, the activities of KKF kept on increasing and soon it became the centre of hope
for the destitute and needy. To create a spirit of service amongst the people, they
campaigned in various ways to generate funds. By receiving donations they put into
motion the process of helping the poor and destitute, which is being continued in a
most organized and effective manner. It also has the offices in UK, USA, CANADA.

 OBJECTIVES

The objective of KKF is to serve the humanity. The KKF always helped the poor and
needy whenever it got the chance. As other NGO’s it is the prime objective of KKF to
help the ones who are suffering. It is working since 1978 and since then any disaster or
trouble happened in Pakistan KKF is one of the NGO who is always there.

KKF emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the basic human rights, regardless of
religion, caste or creed.

The way the Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation has aided the poor, the deprived and the
deserving; irrespective of their color, cast, creed and religion, that symbolizes KKF as
their only friend and hope.

That is also the main reason why the residence of the Founder and Leader of the MQM,
Mr. Altaf Hussain at Azizabad and the Office of the KKF at Block 14, Federal B. Area,
and Karachi are always thronged by the needy 24 hours a day. The residence of Mr.
Altaf Hussain has a reception area where the problems of the needy are seriously
listened. At the Office of KKF, its staff processes the applications of the poor and
deserving and necessary assistance is immediately provided.

In short the KKF being the organization of the political party of the people of Karachi
still it is helping the people of entire Pakistan which shows the honesty and dignity of
the work.

 SERVICES RENDERED BY THE
KHIDMAT-E-KHALQ FOUNDATION
The following are the services rendered by the Khidmat-e-Khalq foundation.

MONTHLY DISBURSEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID TO THE POOR AND NEEDY:

KKF provides financial support on monthly basis to all those students and widows who
have no means of financial support. All such deserving widows and students are issued
special cards. These poor widows and students by showing their card at the KKF
Central Office receive the money apportioned for them every month. The widows are
given aid on the basis of the number of household members in their homes. This way
Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation is supporting thousands of people. Not only Mohajir
families are being aided by the KKF but the list also includes Sindhis, Baloch, Punjabis,
Saraikis and Pakhtoons, in fact, people of all the nationalities of the country. Poor
students, besides being helped monetarily, are provided their course books, uniforms
and fees. In 1996-97, the KKF distributed Rs. 0.5 million amongst the poor students,
the widows and other deserving persons.

PROVISION OF DOWRIES TO DESTITUTE AND ORPHAN GIRLS FOR THEIR

MARRIAGES

The marriage of girls whose parents are from low-income group is a major social and
financial problem. In many cases such girls have to face this problem themselves.
The KKF provides financial help to such parents for the arrangement of marriages of
their daughters. According to KKF's accounts, during 1996-97 an amount of Rs. 0.32
million were spent on the marriages of orphans and destitute girls.

ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDICAL AID CAMPS IN THE MONTH OF MOHARRAM.
Every year the KKF sets up medical aid camps in various localities of each city on the
occasion of the 10th of Moharram. In these camps, doctors and paramedical staff of
the KKF’s Medical Aid Committee, provide medical aid to persons who had accidents or
injuries during the processions. These camps have all the life saving drugs and medical
aid facilities. In case of an emergency, ambulances are always readily available at
these medical aid camps.

ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION OF AID AMONGST THE DESERVING DURING THE

MONTH OF RAMAZAN

KKF besides providing monthly help to poor students and deserving widows and other
occasional aid, also arranges the distribution of sewing machines, installation of
vegetable and fruit stalls for jobless youths, wheel chairs for the handicapped, tape
recorders for the blind and distribution of cash amongst thousands of poor and needy,
the dependants of shaheeds (the martyrs), disabled students and widows, during the
month of Ramzan. For this annual programme, applications are usually received from
the first till the 15th or 20th of Ramazan. Each application is processed and
investigated and each applicant is allotted aid according to his or her need.

This annual aid programme is generally held in the last week of Ramazan. Aid is
distributed irrespective of the colour, cast, creed, language or religion, to the poor
and needy. And special care is taken to ensure that the aid is given only to the
deserving. Around five thousand persons receive aid through this programme every
year. We try to ensure that poor and needy families are also able to celebrate Eid.
These annual aid programmes are not only organized in Karachi, Hyderabad and the
other cities of Sindh but also in Punjab, the NWFP and Balochistan. Thus the aid
programmes of KKF have now been spreading throughout the country. Besides this
annual aid programme and monthly distribution of aid, the Khidmat-e-Khalq
Foundation provides help in a variety of ways throughout the year to deserving people.

FREE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND PROVISION OF MEDICINES TO THE POOR

The Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation provides free medical care to the poor and needy
besides providing free medicines to them. For these medical facilities the KKF has
established a separate department known as the "Medical Aid Committee". It provides
medical care and treatment and other facilities to the poor. The Khidmat-e-Khalq
14

Institute of Business Management

Foundation has also created an "Emergency Centre", spreading in an area of three
acres in Federal 'B' Area Block 14, District Central, where experienced staff remains on
active duty to serve 24 hours a day. In this building, there are different departments
to handle the medical needs of the people. At present, there is a dispensary operating
in the Emergency centre, which provides free medical care and medicines to the
deserving. Besides these services, every year on the 'Polio Day', the KKF provide
vaccination for prevention from Polio to the children and for this purpose, special
arrangements are made at the medical dispensary.

FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE

To provide legal assistance to those victims of State repression, who cannot afford it,
the KKF, with the help of MQM, has set up a full-fledged section known as the "Legal
Aid Committee". Expert lawyers of this committee sit daily in the central office
situated near City Court, at Hoor Centre, Karachi and provide legal advice free of cost
to the needy. In fact, working with a humanitarian zeal these expert lawyers also act
as counsels in the courts.

AMBULANCE AND COFFIN CARRIER SERVICE

KKF's largest Ambulance and Coffin Carrier Service Centre (ACCSC) is situated at the
KKF Emergency Centre in Federal 'B' Area where four coffin carrier buses and 19
ambulances are equipped with oxygen facilities and all other medical emergency
equipment. The Emergency Centre staff comprises of 70 people. The KKF ambulances
arrive promptly on intimation of a traffic accident or emergency; regardless of where
it occurred. Ambulances proceed to the nearest hospital promptly with the casualties
in order to save precious lives. In view of the increasing accidents in Karachi, the KKF
has established another ambulance centre at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital with a fleet of
four ambulances, available round the clock.

15

Institute of Business Management

The network of the KKF ambulance service is expending throughout the country. Any
casualty or a patient from a poor family is provided free ambulance service.

KKF is also serving the people without any reward, through its Coffin Carrier Service.
It initially began the coffin carrier service with two buses. Now the fleet has grown to
four. The KKF charges nominal rate from those who can afford, for its service, so that
the free of charge facility for the poor and destitute could be maintained. Along with
the coffin carrier service other facilities of bathing and providing the coffin for the
dead is available free of cost at the Emergency Centre for the poor and destitute.

SERVICE TO THE POOR THROUGH MOBILE DISPENSARIES AND FIELD

HOSPITALS
By providing free of cost medical care to the poor through its mobile dispensaries and
field hospitals, the KKF has added another achievement to its credit in its service to
humanity. Up till now, the KKF has served the poor through a number of its field
hospitals and mobile dispensaries set up from time to time. In different areas of the
city, where the patients are not only examined and given free medicines worth
thousands of rupees, they are also operated upon if needed in emergency. These
mobile dispensaries are not only organised in Karachi, Hyderabad or other areas of
Sindh; but also in Punjab, Balochistan and the NWFP, where free medical treatment
and medicines are provided to those poor who otherwise have to suffer because of non
availability of ordinary medicines in the government hospitals.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLE STALLS

Under the supervision of the KKF in various localities of the city, fruit and vegetable
stalls are set up during Ramzan where Items are sold at cheaper rates. During
Ramazan, there is a tendency for increase in the prices of edible items. Contrary to
this, the KKF sells fruits and vegetables at more economic rates. This makes it
possible even for the poor to enjoy their Iftar, a service that has tremendous rewards.

BALOCHISTAN EARTHQUAKE
Recently the earthquake hit Balochistan. Again as an NGO KKF was there to help the
Balochistan people and established many camps in Balochistan while also formed
camps in different areas of Karachi to get the funds from the people. Interview was
taken from the people of Balochistan and they were very happy from the efforts of the
KKF.

According to a news channel Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) has sent more than
Rs. 23 million relief goods for the victims of Balochistan earthquake. Mr Altaf Hussain,
founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) expressed his profound
sadness and sympathy over the loss of lives in Balochistan resulted due to a massive
earthquake. Mr Altaf Hussain said to the office bearers of the MQM and trustees of the
KKF to provide medical facilities and also blankets and food provisions to the victims
forced to live under the open sky in severe weather conditions.

Concluding his statement, Mr Hussain appealed to the philanthropists to donate as

much as they can to Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) to facilitate it to reach out to
the victims to help.

dry milk, mineral water, warm clothes, food items and other necessary items to
Balochistan. He said that London based NGO Society for Unwell and Needy (SUN)

 HISTORICAL ACHEIVEMENTS
At various times in its service to humanity, the KKF has accomplished unprecedented
historical achievements. It is important to mention some of them here:

AID TO VICTIMS OF THE SADDAR BOMB BLASTS

In Karachi, during the year of 1987, there were tragic bomb blasts in the Saddar area,
which caused several casualties including and many deaths. At the time of this
tragedy, the KKF installed its medical aid camps outside Jinnah Hospital from where
medicines, blood and all other necessary items were made available for the injured
without any discrimination. The relatives of the deceased were informed through
telephone and telegram. Many injured victims were escorted to their home after
necessary medical aid. Through its actions the MQM has proved that it believes in
providing aid and assistance without discrimination.

HISTORICAL 'MUFT BAZAR' (FREE BAZAR)

The holding of the unique and historical 'Muft Bazar' by the MQM's Khidmat-e-Khalq
Foundation is a phenomenon, which has no parallel in the world, let alone Pakistan.
This unique "Muft Bazar" took place on the 9th and 10th June 1989, at T-Ground,
Federal B. Area, and Karachi. Through this Muft Bazar, more than a hundred thousand
poor and needy men and women were given goods worth more than two crore (twenty
million) rupees. The goods included stitched clothing, complete dowries for girls,
groceries and items for every day use.

Through this 'Muft Bazar', similar to shops in markets, more than 100 stalls of each
item were put up in the T-Ground. For distribution of aid a procedure was adopted
not only to help the destitute; but also at the same time extreme caution was made
not to hurt their self-respect and pride. Through this particular process, the poor and
needy proceeded to the stalls and acquired goods of their choice. During this 'Muft
Bazar' the MQM's Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation members, regardless of their hunger,
thirst and discomfort, worked tirelessly for two days to distribute aid among the poor
and deprived. In the KKF's 'Muft Bazar' not only Mohajirs but also Sindhis, Baloch,
Punjabis, Pakhtoons, Saraikis, Kashmiris and people from various nationalities were
provided aid. Poor and needy widows, disabled, destitute and orphans were amongst
them. The elderly men and women were guided and aided by the MQM members of
National Assembly, Provincial Assembly, Councillors, MQM office bearers and
members. The Founder and Leader of the MQM, Mr. Altaf Hussain and members of the
central committee supervised the aid distribution. Journalists, political, religious and
social leaders who witnessed the 'Muft Bazar' unanimously agreed on its being a
historical event and a unique phenomenon in Pakistan.

RELIEF TO THE VICTIMS OF VARIOUS INCIDENTS IN KARACHI

There was a series of massacres and armed attacks on Mohajir localities in Karachi
between December 1986 and August 1987 including those in Aligarh Colony, Qasba
Colony, Orangi Town, Jalalabad, Nazimabad, Khawaja Ajmer Nagari, New Karachi and
Shah Faisal Colony. Terrorist gangs armed with the latest automatic firearms
18

Institute of Business Management

subjected these places to large-scale murders and arson. This orgy of blood and fire
continued unabated and unchecked for hours at times. Innocent blood was shed and
hundreds of houses were burnt. According to a conservative estimate, about 300
persons were killed and many injured. It is a known fact that it was only the KKF that
came to the aid of the wounded whom it took to different hospitals for first aid and
necessary medical treatment. The Committee also did everything possible to help and
rehabilitate those affected by these acts of terrorism.

HELP TO AFFECTED OF THE HYDERABAD FIRING TRAGEDY

On September 30, 1988, armed terrorists opened indiscriminate firing with automatic
weapons on peaceful citizens in different parts of Hyderabad. This firing carried on
for over half an hour, resulting in the death of more than 200 innocent persons.
Hundreds more were wounded severely. KKF came to the rescue of the wounded,
shifted them to hospitals, and arranged large quantities of blood plasma for those who
needed it, procured life-saving drugs and played an active role in other related
activities.

In July1990, Hyderabad was again a scene of carnage when several bomb blasts
occurred at different places. These blasts took several lives besides wounding a large
number of people. In keeping with its tradition, the KKF rushed with its ambulances to
the aid of the wounded. It took them to hospitals and to the several field camps,
which were set up for medical aid and assistance to the affected. It also distributed
medicines and other articles worth thousands of rupees amongst the helpless and the
deserving.

On July 26 & 27, 1990, one of the worst incident of indiscriminate firing by the State
machinery against the innocent residents of Pacca Qila in Hyderabad, was witnessed.
This calculated and unprovoked firing resulted in the death of hundreds of young men
not to mention dozens of women and innocent children. The number of the wounded
can only be imagined from that of the dead. As usual, the KKF rushed to help the
victims with blood plasma, medicines, food and temporary shelter. Besides this, the
KKF also distributed a sum of Rs. 1.5 million amongst the people affected by the Pucca
Qila incident.

RELIEF FOR THE GHOTKI RAILWAY STA1TION VICTIMS

In 1991, on the tragic train accident at Ghotki Railway Station, in interior Sindh, the
KKF performed distinctive relief activities to the victims. When the news of this
tragedy at Ghotki Railway Station was given to the Founder Leader of the MQM, Mr.
Altaf Hussain, he immediately gave instructions to provide urgent relief and help to
those affected by the tragedy. Within hours, a team of the KKF was the first to reach
the spot with its medical aid, paramedical staff, ambulances, life saving drugs, supply
of blood plasma and other necessary paraphernalia. It established its emergency aid
centre outside the local hospital. Ghotki, a small town in the interior of Sindh, lacks
even the basic medical facilities. At Ghotki there was scarcity of doctors and
medicines. The doctors and the staff of the KKF, therefore, had to have a very busy
time working round the clock and under severe conditions.

It undertook the formidable task of informing the next-of-kin of the victims of the
accident all over the country, and also arranged for the reception and temporary

19

Institute of Business Management

boarding and lodging of their relations arriving in large numbers from all over
Pakistan. To make it easier for these visitors to identify their kin, the committee
displayed photographs, where available, of the dead and the wounded. Those who
were severely wounded and could not be taken care of within the resources locally
available were shifted to Karachi in the KKF ambulances. The Committee within three
days spent almost Rs. 0.3 million in looking after those affected by the Ghotki
tragedy. Earlier, the KKF had also provided similar services without any
discrimination, to the victims of the railway accident at Sangi.

HELP TO THE FLOOD AFFECTED AT MIRPURKHAS

The unprecedented floods in Mirpurkhas in 1989 swept away several villages. Many
people were drowned, many more injured and scores of families were rendered
homeless. The KKF raced to their rescue and also to those uprooted or separated from
their families. The Committee set up camps for the homeless, distributed medicines
and food amongst them until they found themselves rehabilitated elsewhere. Most of
the families affected by the floods were Sindhis. KKF proved practically that it
believes in serving all without any discrimination

REHABILITATION OF THE UPROOTED FAMILIES

Owing to ethnic violence in Sindh in 1989, thousands of families migrated to Karachi or
Hyderabad from the interior of Sindh. The rehabilitation of these families, who had
left their hearth and homes behind, was a challenging task. The KKF took up the
challenge. It found them temporary accommodation in schools and other places,
offered them three meals a day, looked after their medical needs through medical aid
centres and provided them with the necessities of life. Besides, the committee spent
about Rs. 1 million on the uprooted families in 1991.

THE PHULELI CANAL TRAGEDY AND THE KKF's IMMEDIATE HELP

On 16 March 1992, 30 precious lives were lost and many persons were injured when an
overcrowded passenger bus on its way from Tando Ghulam Ali to Hyderabad fell into
the Phuleli Canal. MQM office bearers and volunteers of the KKF rushed to the spot
with their ambulances. They retrieved the ill-fated bus and the unlucky victims from
the canal. Humanitarian activity lasted the whole night and the best part of the
following day. People belonging to all walks of life appreciated the services rendered
by the KKF on the occasion.

A few days before the Phuleli Tragedy, dacoits had launched a rocket attack on a
Rawalpindi bound train from Karachi. KKF immediately provided medical help to the
victims at Nawabshah Railway Junction. For this it set up emergency camps at
Nawabshah where the doctors of the Medical Aid Committee gave first aid and other
treatment to the injured. KKF volunteers also contacted the relatives of the injured
throughout the country. KKF has proved its competency to rush to the aid of those
affected by any tragedy anywhere.

EARTHQUAKE IN AZAD KASHMIR

The biggest disaster in the history of Pakistan occurred in Azad Kashmir on 8th October,
2005. Again KKF did the fantastic job over there and helped the victims, the camps
were formed in PAF museum and all the people of Karachi gave their support and

20

Institute of Business Management

donate as much as they could. Due to the sincere efforts of KKF this year in election
KKF won the provincial assembly seat in Azad Kashmir.

KKF's SOURCE OF INCOME

KKF also meets all its expenses from donations received from people. The KKF obtains
donations from the people in the month of Ramazan in the shape of Zakat, Fitra and
Sadqa; while it collects hides and skins of sacrificial animals on the occasion of Eid-ul-
Azha, the KKF distributes the funds so collected amongst the poor and needy people
every year in a public gathering. Besides, the cost of medical treatment and
medicines, ambulance and coffin carrier service, help centres and all other welfare
activities of the KKF are also financed from the contributions made by the people.
KKF's Central Office at Block-14, Federal B. Area, maintains an up to date record of
donations received from the public as well as the details of the expenditures on
various items. KKF annually issues the statement of its income and expenditure for
the public information. Besides, the entire income and expenditure accounts are
regularly audited. The MQM has extended general invitation to people to visit the
Central Office of KKF and check for themselves the accounts of KKF.

KKF is the organization of a political party which has many followers in Karachi. No
political party beside MQM wins election in Karachi this shows the popularity of MQM in
Karachi. Therefore the workers of MQM and other people belongs to this party donates
their Zakat and Sadqa to KKF. Many business men also donate to KKF.

People actually get inspired by the work of KKF and due to which they donate for the
KKF. In September 1997, Sheikh Nasir Lotha of United Arab Emirates and the Consulate
General of UAE Sheikh Zahi Lotha visited the KKF Centre and saw the ambulance
service, coffin carrier service, dispensary and other departments of KKF. They were
also shown the aid programs of the KKF. Sheikh Nasir Lotha accepted that Khidmat-e-
Khalq Foundation is really providing service to the poor and needy persons without any
discrimination.

KKF's ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

The KKF allocate entire funds collected from donation to poor and needy. We have
discussed the historical achievements of KKF, also the objective of KKF. The funds are
allocated basically to the people who are suffering as we have discussed the services
rendered by the KKF which shows the areas where KKF allocate their funds. The KKF
have now some future plans in which the KKF will start some different programs and
will try to cover entire Pakistan.

 FUTURE WELFARE PROGRAMMES
KKF intends to broaden the sphere of its welfare services in the future and has
accordingly formulated several new schemes for providing better and effective
welfare services to the poor and needy people.

ESTABLISHMENT OF 260 BED MODERN HOSPITAL

A 260 bed modern hospital tops the list of the future welfare schemes of the KKF. This
modern hospital will be established over an area of 3 acres in Block 14, of the Federal
B Area. This hospital will comprise full range of medical departments and provide
treatment to all kinds of patients. In this hospital of KKF, free treatment will be
extended to all poor and deserving people and, in addition they would also be
provided with free medicines.

ESTABLISHMENT OF DISPENSARIES
At present there is a dispensary working at the KKF Centre; but the KKF wants to
establish dispensaries all over the city on a large scale. In these dispensaries the poor,
helpless and deserving patients will be provided with free of cost treatment and
medicines. With the establishment of these dispensaries, people, especially those
living in the underdeveloped areas, will have access to better medical treatment and
facilities in the vicinity of their homes. In the next phase KKF plans to establish these
free dispensaries in different cities of Sindh province and also in the province of
Punjab, the NWFP and Balochistan.

ESTABLISHMENT OF BLOOD BANK

Blood is a necessary element of life and at the time of any accident it is needed to
save the lives of the victims. MQM felt this need and planned to establish a blood
bank in the city. The construction of the building of Blood Bank was completed in
1991. All the departments were made but due to the shortage of funds, necessary
machinery for the Blood Bank could not be acquired, therefore, this project could not
be started. Afterwards, due the commencement of the Operation Clean-up, all the
plans to open the Blood Bank were delayed. Now owing to the efforts of the MQM and
the support of generous people this Blood Bank is now operative but still more funds
are needed to run this Blood Bank on a wider scale.

ESTABLISHMENT OF DRUG BANK

In order to provide free medicine to the poor and destitute, the KKF wants to establish
a drug bank. Currently, there is a small drug bank operative in the dispensary of the
KKF but it wants to establish a big drug bank so that the poor and needy could be
provided easy access to every medicine, including life saving drugs.

ESTABLISHMENT OF AMBULANCE AND COFFIN CARRIES SERVICE CENTRES ALL OVER

THE CITY
KKF will set up ambulance and Coffin Carrier Service centres in the far-flung areas of
Karachi along with other urban areas to provide ready and quick services to the
people. According to this plan in 1991, the KKF started an Ambulance Centre in
Landhi but it remained operative for a small period when in 1992 an Operation Clean-

up was launched against the MQM and the Haqiqi terrorists captured all the
ambulances present there and closed this ambulance centre. Despite this incident,
KKF is still struggling to establish ambulance and coffin carrier service centres in
Karachi and other parts of the country.

ESTABLISHMENT OF INDUSTRIAL HOMES

KKF in addition to providing help to the people, specially the poor and needy ones,
through its various welfare schemes and assistance programmes as well as extending
medical and other facilities, is also keen to promoting general progress and prosperity
in the society. To attain this goal, the KKF has formulated a scheme for setting up
Industrial Home centres in different parts of the city. In these centres, women
especially the needy and deserving ones will be trained in different skills and trades to
make them economically independent and bread earners of their family.

INAUGURATION OF KKF BLOOD BANK AND PATHOLOGICAL LABORATORY IN KARACHI

In its firm believe to serve the people the KKF founded a blood bank and pathological
laboratory at its central office at Federal B Area, Karachi. The Prime Minister, Nawaz
Sharif, inaugurated this blood bank and pathological laboratory on 23 January 1998.
This has happened for the first time in the history of Pakistan that a charitable wing of
any political party of country has exhibited the human services at such a high level of
commitment to people. Most importantly, all this has been achieved despite
constraints and a manifest State repression against the party.

RE-OPENING OF KKF AMBULANCE AND COFFIN CARRIER SERVICE CENTRE IN

HYDERABAD

On 27 March 1998, the MQM re-opened its centre of ambulance service and hearse
service at the Mir Gardens at Hyderabad. This centre was forcibly closed during the
Army Operation, which commenced on 19 June 1992. The KKF has also laid the
foundation of a 200 beds hospital at the Mir Gardens Centre for the poor and needy
people of the Hyderabad city.

FLOOD RELIEF OPERATION IN BALOCHISTAN

The KKF since its foundation has served the victims of natural disasters wherever it
had occurred in the country. Recently, on 4 March 1998, in a flood relief operation in
Balochistan, the KKF has provided the affected people with all the care and need from
medical to monetary assistance.

The righteous people belonging to this caravan have a firm belief that through the
service of the poor, helpless, oppressed and deprived; and their unflinching stand of
this just cause, they would one day definitely reach their destination.

 CONCLUSION
The welfare services provided by KKF for the last 19 years to poor destitute, widows,
orphans and helpless people, are inspired by the leadership of the MQM's founder and
leader Mr Altaf Hussain, who created this effective and organized committee of KKF
some 19 years ago for providing welfare services to the poor, dispossessed and
deprived people.

The sapling planted by him has now grown into a tall and thick tree under whose shade
thousands, in fact, hundreds of thousands poor and deprived students, destitute,
widows, orphaned children, disabled and helpless people find shelter and are
benefited.

KKF derives great satisfaction in personally helping the deserving people. It is the
result that whether it is the establishment of cheap fruit stalls in Ramazan-ul-
Mubarak, or Free Bazar or mobile dispensaries, the KKF volunteers provide help to
poor and deserving people without any hesitation. They neither want any reward nor
seek any praise. Their only concern is that no needy person be left out from their
assistance programs.

Today, the social welfare organization KKF is actively engaged in its effort to mitigate
the sufferings of hundred of thousand of poor and needy people. Surely, it is in
response to the prayers of the poor widows, orphan children, poor student girls and
boys and various other deserving people that KKF is moving forward towards its
destination.
