About Rehmat

In 2001, Mr Abdul Rashid Mirza, decided that after retirement, he wanted to give something back to the community that he was brought up in. Having recalled how difficult it was for the average person in Pakistan to get basic medical treatment that people in Western society take for granted, he made plans to initiate a healthcare project in his hometown of Jhelum. For this Rehmat Karim Welfare Foundation Jhelum was formed and registered as an NGO in Pakistan in February 2002 to provide free medical assistance to the poor and needy community of Jhelum and its surrounding areas with the following objectives:

• Establish a Medical Clinic & Dispensary in Jhelum to provide free primary medical care to the poor and needy residents of Jhelum City and its surroundings.
• Establish regular Mobile Medical Clinics to provide medical assistance at doorsteps in the rural areas. Provide assistance to those who cannot afford by getting them medically treated from other hospitals.
• Collaborate with other NGOs of good reputation for combined community development. Undertake health awareness programs for prevention and control of disease in the community and also hold training workshops to enhance capacity building of paramedics and other medical staff in the rural areas.

The project was initiated with the donations to the tune of Rs. 1,500,000/- mostly from family, friends and relatives in the UK and was split into two phases. Since the main donors resided in UK, Rehmat Foundation was formed in the UK as a charity organization to cover the funding raised in UK to initiate other projects i.e.. establishment of medical clinics & rehabilitation centers in Pakistan's less advantaged urban areas and primary health care projects in the rural areas for the poor and needy people of Pakistan. The project is still running today, having made over 120,000 treatments.
