OCTOBER 2016 - SEHT Account in Pakistan

During the last visit by the chairperson to Pakistan in March 2016, it became evident that it would  not be possible to register SEHT as a charitable organisation  in Pakistan because of the country’s significant regulatory obstacles. Since it was inappropriate to continue to use a personal account for managing the donated funds, it became necessary to find alternatives. The trustees decided at the time to seek collaboration with a registered charity. 

At the AGM on 29 October 2016  Dr Raoof sought and received the Trustees’ approval of the new account handling arrangements in Pakistan with the Decent Welfare Society. This is a well established, registered charitable organisation based in Gujrat, already running some unique and major international projects in Pakistan which includes:

• Cleft centre (free plastic surgery hospital for patients with cleft Lip and Palate)

• Breast Cancer Awareness campaign 

• Artificial Limb Centre

• Vocational Training Institute

• Interest free Micro credit Program

• Mid wifery Training Centre
