History
Although not officially registered at the time, Oolus's journey began after the devastating earthquake that struck Pakistan in 2006. This catastrophe claimed thousands of lives and left countless families displaced, particularly in the northern regions of the country. We stepped in to provide immediate and critical relief to the victims, delivering essential supplies such as food, clean water, clothing, and medical aid to the affected areas.
Understanding that rebuilding lives goes beyond immediate relief, we also focused on long-term recovery efforts. We worked tirelessly in the earthquake- affected regions, helping families regain stability and a sense of normalcy. This marked the beginning of our commitment to not only provide emergency aid but also contribute to the sustainable rehabilitation of communities in crisis.
Clean Water in Charsadda
In line with its mission to empower communities through sustainable development, we also addressed the critical need for clean and safe drinking water. Our significant project occurred in Charsadda, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, where many villages lacked access to clean water. Recognizing the dire need, we initiated a project to install hand pumps in various villages across Charsadda. These hand pumps have provided reliable access to clean water, significantly reducing the burden on women and children who previously had to travel long distances to fetch water and improving the overall health and well-being of the community.
Continuing the Journey of Empowerment
From the earthquake relief efforts to the installation of hand pumps in Charsadda to periodically providing meals to the inhabitants of rural areas of Islamabad, we have grown steadily in our mission to provide for those in need.
When COVID struck, many families lost their jobs, creating a surge in support needs. Although we had been working for a long time, the pandemic prompted us to streamline our operations and initiate a more organized approach to our efforts. To help the families survive in those dire times, we started three programs: short-term assistance, long-term assistance, and enablement for self-sufficiency.
The next step in our journey was to officially register our foundation to give a public face to our efforts and to coordinate and invite like-minded people to help those in need.
