Our Foundation donated to the “Sarwar Foundation” (Sarwar Vakfı), established in Pakistan, whose primary mission is to fight poverty by saving lives by providing access to quality healthcare and clean drinking water, and tackle poverty by educating children, empowering women, and helping those in need in Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and across the world. Executive Board Member of the Foundation, Mohammed Rajak, presented a certificate of appreciation to our Foundation for the donation.
We support efforts to transform the lives of those in need around the world
“People live in extreme poverty in Pakistan, a friendly country with a population of over 200 million. Health infrastructure is weak; clean drinking water is not available; illiteracy and marginalization of women are very common. All these problems have a huge negative impact on the quality of life of the friendly Pakistani people. As a foundation, we considered it our duty to support the Sarwar Foundation, which strives to significantly improve the quality of life of the people of Pakistan by directing change for a positive future.” stated regarding the donation, Mr. Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of the Salih Tatlıcı Foundation.
