Community Outreach

Kiran Foundation’s work expands into the community through its welfare support programs and community-based projects. The problems we face in society are multi-faceted and complex. Poverty adds to the existing trauma, crippling one’s ability to recover. We work with the larger community through various projects and by providing financial, social, medical, and emotional support to families in need.

Community Welfare

Family Support
With families affected by severe multi-layered trauma and poverty, Kiran provides financial support for ration, house-rent and/or other necessities.
Medical Support
In the time of urgent need, Kiran facilitates people to get the necessary treatment which may be unaffordable.
Education/Scholarship Fund
Kiran supports deserving students, particularly girls, in their journey to attain higher education, by providing financial aid and scholarships.

Community Projects

Bachatt Bazaar

We Collect Everyday Items
With the help of our friends, we collect everyday items that the families of students cannot buy otherwise

In the spirit of entrepreneurship, mothers are encouraged to set up home-made food stalls to initiate financial independence.

Youth Leaders and Entrepreneurship
LSY has organized several conferences for the youth of Lyari, aimed towards honing talents and skills, and increasing their exposure to the world.

When I came to Lyari I had no idea I would become a permanent member of Kiran Foundation. Kiran has been in my life for more than a decade now. It has made me see the positive side in every difficult situation and I’m proud of my association with the foundation.
