With the passion to pay back to the homeland, an indebted group of Pakistani-American visionaries came together to practically demonstrate the model of Human Development envisioned by great economist of his times, Dr. Mahbub-ul-Haq. Human Development Foundation (HDF) was founded in 1997, as a gift to Pakistan, on its 50th Independence Day. As revolutionaries with deep roots in Pakistan, they were committed to overall development and poverty eradication.
Our quest for positive social change to remote and marginalized communities remains at the forefront, and we at the foundation,... work tirelessly to help the communities who are most vulnerable. Through our unique program model of Holistic Community Development, during the course, we have directly reached out to over 3 million people through several programs and projects across more than 7000 villages, bringing them support in health, especially awareness of infectious diseases, education, livelihood, and disaster preparedness.
Support us as we move forward in the noble mission to eradicate multi-dimensional poverty and devote ourselves to the welfare of our people.
“Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honorable reward.” Al Qur’an 57:18Be The Reason Someone Smiles This Ramadan
As the blessed month of Ramadan dawns upon us, we reflect on the power of compassion and generosity. We are deeply grateful for your incredible support and commitment to HDF's mission.

Your donation will empower an impoverished student to attend school with pride and confidence.
Do you remember the excitement and anticipation of going back to school after summer break? Unfortunately, for many underprivileged children in Pakistan, this excitement is overshadowed by the stress of not having the proper resources to attend school.
At Human Development Foundation, we believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background. That's why we've launched our Donate a School Uniform campaign, aimed at providing school uniforms to those who cannot afford them.
By donating just $15, you can help a child attend school with pride and confidence, ready to learn and make the most of their education. Your contribution can make a real impact in the lives of these children, helping to break the cycle of poverty and providing them with opportunities for a brighter future.
Imagine the joy and happiness on a child's face when they receive their very own school uniform. Not only does it provide them with a sense of belonging, but it also gives them the tools they need to succeed in school and in life.
We know that you have many worthy causes vying for your support, but we believe that every child deserves the chance to fulfill their potential through education. By donating to this cause, you can be a part of this important mission and help us empower the next generation of Pakistan.

With your support, we can provide nutritious meals to children who would otherwise go hungry, enabling them to focus on their studies and achieve their full potential.

Students in far-flung and remote classrooms either lack textbooks altogether or are required to share them extensively with fellow classmates. In the current economics of learning, textbooks constitute indispensable tools for building knowledge-based communities. They remain the most flexible and far-reaching medium for knowledge-sharing, especially in areas with no mobile connectivity and internet access. Without textbooks, children can spend many of their school hours copying content from the blackboard, which severely reduces the time for engaged learning. The cost of learning materials is a key barrier that prevents children from having access to education. Therefore, access to appropriate learning materials e.g. textbooks is listed as a key strategy to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all under the Sustainable Development Goal on education (SDG: 4).
As a not-for-profit organization, our efforts are sustained by the generous donations received from our patrons year on year. Sponsor access to textbooks for a child for a year or become a recurring donor empowering thousands of students to reach their potential. This easy and rewarding task can have a profound and lasting impact on the economic, social, and cultural development of underserved communities.

Donate now to provide free healthcare services to those who cannot afford. Currently HDF has 8 CHC’s across Pakistan.
In Pakistan, many families are unable to afford even basic healthcare services, which can lead to serious health problems and financial hardship. Human Development Foundation is committed to addressing this issue by providing free healthcare services through our eight Community Health Centers (CHCs) across Pakistan.
Our CHCs provide essential medical services, including consultations, diagnosis, and treatment, to individuals who are unable to afford these services. Through our Free Healthcare Services campaign, we can continue to provide these critical services and improve the health and well-being of thousands of individuals.
Your donation can make a real impact in the lives of those in need. Just $21 can provide a consultation and medicine to a family, enabling them to receive the care they need to recover and lead a healthy life.

Your donation will educate a child in HDF school. Currently over 7000 students are enrolled in HDF Schools across Pakistan.
Education is a powerful tool that can transform the lives of individuals and communities. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to quality education, which can perpetuate cycles of poverty and inequality. In Pakistan, an estimated 22.8 million children are out of school, with poverty and social exclusion being the main barriers to education. According to UNICEF, only 48% of children in Pakistan complete primary education, and the number drops to 25% for secondary education. Furthermore, girls are disproportionately affected, with 62% of out-of-school children being girls.
Human Development Foundation - HDF is working to address this issue by providing education opportunities to vulnerable children, including those from impoverished backgrounds and marginalized communities. We have established over 274 schools across Pakistan, providing quality education to over 100,000 children.
However, there is still much work to be done. With your support, we can continue to expand our reach and ensure that every child has access to education. We understand that there are many worthy causes competing for your support, but we believe that education is one of the most impactful investments you can make. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in the lives of these children, empowering them to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams. So, join us in our mission to promote education and eradicate poverty by contributing to our cause. Together, we can create a better future for Pakistan, one child at a time. Thank you for your support.

Joining Hands in Fighting Multi-Dimensional Poverty in Pakistan
In 2023, the Human Development Foundation (HDF) initiated a Qurbani project during Eid ul Adha in three villages of Karachi: Khair Muhammad, Murad Brohi, and Usman Takri.
The purpose of the project was to provide a nutritious meal to individuals who couldn’t afford it on regular days. With the generous support of donors, a total of 1050 individuals from 150 households were provided with meat packages by sacrificing nine animals. The Qurbani meat was distributed directly to the beneficiaries at their doorsteps, facilitated by two teams from HDF’s Karachi regional office, which not only contributed to alleviating hunger and promoting the well-being of vulnerable communities but also spread joy on this festive occasion.
Pregnant women caught in Pakistan’s floods left struggling for maternal healthcare
Some 650,000 pregnant women in flood-hit provinces are affected by maternal malnutrition, with about 2,000 mothers a day giving birth in unsafe conditions Unregulated use of medicines, untrained birth attendants, and lack of access to health facilities and hospitals are among the problems post-floods.
Pakistani health worker Mai Janat Buriro, 37, spends three hours every day handing out medicines to pregnant women with iron deficiency or malnutrition in the flood-affected province of Sindh. Of the 11 mothers who gave birth last month in her neighborhood in the Allah Rakha colony, three who suffered from maternal malnutrition lost their infants.
“Most pregnant women have nothing to eat,” Buriro told This Week In Asia. “They don’t have access to milk either because animals they reared had died in the floods.”
Over the past several months, devastating floods have killed more than 1,500 people and displaced 7.6 million people.
