APPEAL:
Mental illness remains one of the most neglected and underserved areas of public health in Pakistan. Shockingly, at least one in five individuals in the country suffers from some form of psychological disorder. Over 50 million people in Pakistan are in urgent need of psychiatric care. Yet, according to WHO, Pakistan has only 0.19 psychiatrists per 100,000 people—one of the lowest ratios in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region and worldwide.
Karwan-e-Hayat’s unwavering commitment to healing minds and hearts has uncovered countless stories of resilience and triumph. However, the road ahead is fraught with challenges that require collective compassion, dedication, and resources. At this critical juncture, we turn to you, our valued donors, for your continued support.
Consider for a moment the profound impact your contribution can make: offering a lifeline to someone standing at the precipice of despair, reigniting hope in the eyes of someone battling their darkest inner battles. Karwan-e-Hayat doesn’t just provide mental health services; we breathe life into those who struggle to find it within themselves.
Karwan-e-Hayat is a beacon of hope for those suffering from psychiatric illness—a guiding light for individuals and families enduring the silence imposed by societal stigma. We offer psychiatric care and rehabilitation services to the underserved and marginalized, ensuring they receive the help they desperately need.
Your donation and Zakat will enable us to build a more supportive and healthier society.
