Generally charitable activities are limited to helping and supporting two institutions in the region of SWAT, Pakistan. These two schools, Jamia Darul (JDS) and the Jamia Public School (JPS) provide for the religious and secular education of children who attend these institutes. Most of the children who live are poor and come from subordinate backgrounds. NHR provides funds to pay for the accommodation, clothing and nutrition of these children to enable them to acquire learning and knowledge in a safe and quiet environment. This will allow children to pursue a career that makes them self-sufficient, relevant and righteous/civilized members of society.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
