Salma Khatoon
FOUNDATION
سـلـمـیٰ خـاتـون فـاؤنـڈیـشـن
The Salma Khatoon Foundation carries the name of the woman who taught our family that giving is not an event but a habit. No one is turned away for being unable to pay: medical care for women and children, clean drinking water, food, school lunches, and training that ends in a trade.
سلمیٰ خاتون فاؤنڈیشن ساہیوال میں طبی سہولت، صاف پانی، راشن، سکول کا کھانا اور خواتین کی ہنر کی تربیت فراہم کرتی ہے۔ ضرورت مندوں کے لیے یہ خدمات مفت ہیں۔
She raised six children in Sahiwal and later in Connecticut, and gave away what little was spare without announcing it. Her sons built this foundation in her memory, on the land she came from. Jasmine — chameli — was her flower; it is why the mark above is one.
The health center opened in 2005 and has grown every year since. It is run by people from the villages it serves.
About fees. Our services are free for anyone who cannot pay. For some services, those who can afford it pay a small token fee. Every rupee of it goes back into care for those in need and into additional services — none of it is kept as profit.
کچھ خدمات کے لیے استطاعت رکھنے والے افراد معمولی فیس ادا کرتے ہیں۔ یہ تمام رقم ضرورت مندوں کی مدد اور مزید خدمات پر خرچ ہوتی ہے۔
Every program on this page is funded by the Tariq & Asma Farid Foundation, a private family foundation in Atlanta, Georgia, established in 2007 by Tariq and Asma Farid — Salma Khatoon's son and daughter-in-law. TAFF supports healthcare, food security, refugee education, disability care and community building in the United States, Pakistan, Jordan and elsewhere.
We do not run appeals, and this site has no donate button: the work is paid for, and what we need from you is only that you use it. Where a small token fee is paid by those who can afford it, every rupee goes back into care for others.

The health center and the water plant are on the same site on Western Road. Open every day; the eye camp dates are announced on our social accounts.
Camps, distributions, graduations and harvests go up on our social accounts the same week they happen. This page stays as it is — the standing facts.
