Our hope is to use this effort to help some of the millions of at least half starved Pakistanis to afford

gaining a minimum level of subsistence. As well as the obvious hunger resulting from an empty

stomach, there is also the hidden hunger of micronutrient deficiencies which makes individuals

susceptible to infectious diseases while also impairing their physical and mental development. Please

PAKISTAN FOOD BANK 2013

The Lady Fatemah (AS) charitable Trust (LFT) based in the UK and the Madinatul Ilm Charitable Tru

(MICT) in Pakistan have together successfully completed a new project to provide food support to som

of Pakistan’s most impoverished families.

By end June 2013, we had successfully distributed food packs containing rations of high protein lentil

and rice to approximately 10 thousand families. This effort was driven by the ambition to enab

impoverished families to put sufficient food on their tables, not only during the month of ‘Ramadan’ bu

going forward too.

Towards this end, LFT has generously made an initial contribution of high protein lentils and vermicelli

worth approximately U$50,000.00. Through subsequent assistance, LFT provided financial assistance t

add ten thousand bags of high nutrition ‘Basmati’ rice, each weighing 2 kgs. In the coming year, we hop

to build up further on this vital project.



donate generously to help build up this noble effort at a time when low income Pakistanis are

suffering as never before.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN PROGRESS

MICT’s educational projects encompass all matters pertaining to education. MICT has provided support

vocational as well as formal education, regardless of age, gender, or location. During the period under revi

MICT disbursed more than Rupees three million for the cause of education.

This included an expenditure of approximately Rupees 878,810.00 generously donated by LFT to finance a th

months training camp in Islamabad for teachers from schools across the Gilgit-Baltistan province.

purpose was to bridge the gap between the current knowledge of these teachers and their future neConsequently, more than four thousand students taught by these teachers stand to gain.

Additionally, a special training camp was held in Islamabad in continuation of the first such summer cam

2011 which allowed a selected group of students from Gilgit-Baltistan to gain from special tutorials

preparation for their college entrance exams. Also sponsored by LFT, this camp saw students attain betw

85 per cent to 94 per cent marks which enabled them to enter professional colleges such as medical

engineering universities in Pakistan. These activities continued along with our support for individual stude

in need.

MICT-EDUCATION SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM



Food parcels and handouts offer temporary respite from hunger. However, unless

people are given the means to lift themselves out of their impoverishment, temporary

aid will eventually run out leaving the recipients dependent upon further support.

MICT`s micro finance program has so far enabled more than 200 individuals across

Pakistan to stand on their own feet and support their families.

During the year under review, MICT actively continued to search for impoverished

individuals who were able and willing to use small grants for establishing businesses at

the grass roots. During the year under review, we selectively continued with this

program mainly in the northern parts of the Punjab province.

BENEFICIARIES OF MICRO-FINANCE PROGRAM

MICT-MICRO FINANCE PROGRAM



As part of our activities, MICT’s work seeks to support patients in need. In a country where

healthcare facilities are inadequate, patients in financial distress must cope with a variety of

challenges. Through our network of volunteers and staff members, MICT seeks to reach out to

patients in need of care and treatment. During the year under review, MICT disbursed more than

Rps 2.43 million to patients in need of financial assistance.

Notable among these cases was the case of Zehra Khatoon, an 11 year old who lost both of her arms

in a tragic accident. Through the generous support of LFT, MICT raised approximately one million

Rupees to facilitate the installation of a bionic arm. Today, Zehra Khatoon is back at school in her

native Gilgit-Baltistan region and adjusting to life at home.

UPCOMING PROJECTS

As we prepare for the year ahead, MICT remains dedicated to continuing its work for crisis

stricken communities across Pakistan. At the same time, we remain dedicated to

expanding our support for students in need, impoverished patients surrounded by

financial crisis and individuals seeking to establish small businesses. Please write to use

for further information as we seek your support to continue our work across Pakistan.
