Staff Reporter

Karachi: The Akhuwat Foundation on Tuesday held its annual fundraising dinner at the Governor House Sindh, bringing together prominent figures from across society to support the organisation’s interest-free microfinance and social welfare initiatives.

The event aimed to secure new pledges for the coming year and mobilise additional resources to expand Akhuwat’s programmes, which provide interest-free loans to underprivileged individuals to help them achieve financial independence.

Addressing the gathering, Akhuwat Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr Muhammad Amjad Saqib reflected on the organisation’s 25-year journey, highlighting its role in empowering thousands of families through dignified, self-sustaining livelihood opportunities.

Danish Aman, Head of the Council of Patrons, underscored Akhuwat’s growing social impact and called on philanthropists and stakeholders to actively support its mission of poverty alleviation and social inclusion.

Governor Sindh’s Adviser Tariq Mustafa also lauded the foundation’s efforts, describing its model of interest-free lending as a vital tool in enabling individuals to stand on their own feet and rebuild their lives with dignity.

Special prayers were offered during the event for the victims of the recent Gul Plaza tragedy, while proposals were also discussed to support and empower individuals affected by such incidents.

The dinner was attended by actors, industrialists, senior bureaucrats, journalists and other notable personalities, and concluded with a formal dinner hosted at the Governor House.
