About Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust®
Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust (AMWT) is a registered non-government organisation (NGO) working on a non-profit basis whose aim is to alleviate poverty and provide medical and social development assistance to the poor and vulnerable around the world.
Our journey began in November 1983 on a small scale by a group of highly motivated intellectuals, social workers, lawyers, doctors, engineers and business executives, who had the passion for philanthropy. In the last 28 years since our formation, AMWT has provided medical care, education assistance, food aid, poverty relief, famine relief and community development in disaster areas, war torn countries and many rural and poverty stricken areas of the world, serving millions of needy and helpless people living in abject poverty and squalid conditions.
Al-Mustafa has a long list of services such as hospitals, welfare agencies, schools for the poor children, women’s centres, dowry funds for poor young daughters, minority benefits for the poor, funeral buses, ambulances, free pharmacies, ambulance services and many more supportive projects to help improve the lives of the poor and vulnerable.
During the devastating effects of the earthquakes in Pakistan, Kashmir, Haiti, and floods in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir, Al-Mustafa has provided enormous funds for tents, houses, road construction, community projects, mosques and rehabilitation and treatment of the injured.
Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust works in eight different sectors:
- Health
- Education
- Orphan Support Programme
- Elderly and Disabled
- Water & Sanitation
- Economic & Social Livelihoods
- Clothing the Needy
- Dawah and Islamic Guidance
Apart from providing short term emergency relief during disasters, Al-Mustafa supports and works for social and economic development by working closely with local communities. We do so without any discrimination and regardless of race, religion or gender.
