February 1-2, 2025 – Annual Fundraiser – Sham-e-Khusro

Karwan-e-Hayat’s annual fundraiser, Sham-e-Khusro, held on February 1 and 2, 2025, at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, brought together music, culture, and compassion to support mental health treatment and rehabilitation in Pakistan. A tribute to the legendary Amir Khusro, the evening celebrated Pakistan’s rich cultural heritage through mesmerizing performances, while highlighting a pressing cause—making mental health care accessible to those in need.

The event saw overwhelming support from Karachi’s community, with proceeds dedicated to funding vital mental health services for underserved populations. Heartfelt thanks must be extended to its sponsors (McDonalds Pakistan, Bank Al-Falah, NBP, Habib Metro Bank, Chevron Pakistan and OGDCL) and well-wishers, whose generosity continues to transform lives by supporting mental health initiatives.

As mental health awareness grows ever more critical, Sham-e-Khusro stands as a testament to the power of community and collective action in breaking stigma, raising awareness, and ensuring that those battling mental illness receive the care and support they deserve.
