Welcome to The Abaseen Foundation UK

The Abaseen Foundation is a charity developing health, education and research in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly the North West Frontier Province), Pakistan. We also provide humanitarian relief when natural disasters occur.

Change lives with a monthly donation

Supporting the Abaseen Foundation by monthly standing order is one of the best ways in which you can help our work in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Standing orders help us to plan ahead, and cut administration costs, meaning that more money can go directly into our work.

Send a child to school for only £10 a month!

Your donation will enable some of the most marginalised children the opportunity to escape poverty and create a brighter future for themselves. Just 50p day/£15 a month or 33p day/£10 a month allows a child to attend school and plan for a brighter future.
“The Himalayas including the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush have been central to my life and I have a great respect and affection for the people who live amongst them or at there margins. I am aware of the deprivations that many face in these areas especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I am particularly interested in the mountain health project that the Foundation is beginning to develop in Chitral; whose mountains and inhabitants I hold in the highest regard.”
