Abaseen’s Impact Over the Last 20 Years
Since we were formed over 20 years ago, we’ve worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people in North West Pakistan. Here’s a small sample of our achivements so far:
EDUCATION
Educating girls in an area where literacy level for girls was less than 3%.
We recently opened a degree college for girls to enable girls to progress to a university education.
It isn’t all about knowledge! We have a very successful vocational training college for girls and boys with a wide range of skills to develop and enterprising aspect that provides apprentices with the tools they need to continue and develop their own business.
HEALTH
We provide basic health care to people in the area who would otherwise have no access to health care at all.
We have introduced a much-needed well-being for women service which addresses period poverty.
We offer an x-ray service within the community without which they would need to take time off work and pay the expenses to go to Peshawar. This basic and essential imaging technology would otherwise be inaccessible due to cost.
HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
2005 earthquake
Floods in Swat Vallery in 2010
More recent floods in Swat, where we raised £135,000 to respond to the catastrophe
And finally - we stand ready to respond to any future disasters. Given the escalating climate crisis, there will almost certainly be more, and we have recently started looking at how we address climate sensitive projects.
Our partnership with our creative agency means we can launch a humanitarian appeal within 90 minutes.
RESEARCH
We attract funds to complete action based research to underpin our education, health and other projects.
