Appeal


Mental illness is the most neglected and underserved area of public health in Pakistan. At least 1 in 4 persons suffers from some sort of psychological disorder in Pakistan. It is estimated that more than 50 million people in Pakistan are in need of psychiatric assistance. According to WHO data, Pakistan has only 0.19 psychiatrists per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the lowest numbers in WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, and in the whole world.

Karwan-e-Hayat’s relentless pursuit of healing hearts and minds has unearthed incredible stories of resilience and triumph. Yet, the journey ahead is filled with challenges that require a symphony of compassion, commitment, and resources. It is in this juncture that we turn to you, our cherished donors, for your unwavering support.

Imagine for a moment the profound impact of your contribution: a lifeline extended to a soul teetering on the edge of despair, a flicker of hope reignited in the eyes of someone battling the darkest storms within. Karwan-e-Hayat does not only provide mental health services, it also breathes life into those who struggle to find it within themselves.

Karwan is that ray of hope for those suffering from psychiatric illness. It is that beacon of light for these individuals and families who are suffering in the silence of societal stigma, providing psychiatric care and rehabilitation services to the underserved and those who are marginalized because of their illness.
