Our Long-Term Support initiative assists individuals who require ongoing aid, including those who are terminally ill, elderly, or living with chronic physical disabilities. This program ensures they receive continuous care and resources to maintain their dignity and quality for the rest of their life.
History
The long-term program initiative started when COVID hit the whole world, and a lot of people, especially in low income countries like Pakistan, were rendered unemployed. What we saw was that a lot of wage earners of hard-working families were all of sudden unemployed. It significantly impacted people who were already at the lowest socio-economic level of society, like terminally ill, elderly, or living with chronic physical disabilities, devoid of both governmental and private support.
Our Waseela methodology acted as a bridge for this segment of society, where the members of our organizations acted as referrals to the people in their circle who were faced with these dire circumstances.
We developed policies and procedures to help get these needed people to assess and evaluate so that we can register and help with their sustenance.
Total Families Helped: 3,220

Become a Waqf Contributor: Create a Lasting Legacy of Giving
A Waqf is a timeless charitable endowment that provides ongoing benefits to individuals and communities. Examples of Waqf: rental income, income from a business, income from agricultural land, etc. allocation to a charitable organization. This creates a continuous stream of funding for a charitable cause.
One of the key benefit of Waqf is that it is not tied to a person’s lifetime and the benefit to the society can go beyond a person’s lifetime - sadqa-e-jaaria.
By becoming a Waqf contributor, you can invest in sustainable projects, such as establishing schools, hospitals, donating a piece of land for those in need. This form of giving is particularly impactful for our long-term care initiatives, allowing us to create dedicated facilities and programs for the elderly and terminally ill. Your Waqf can fund nursing homes, or research into age-related diseases. This creates a perpetual source of support, ensuring that your contribution aids not just one individual, but generations to come. Your Waqf will create a lasting legacy, reflecting your commitment to building a better future and providing compassionate care for those in their twilight years.
