“SKT Specialized Hospital project has been a cornerstone of support for the community, particularly for the 200,000 people it serves, including many camp residents facing incredibly harsh humanitarian and economic
resources, and lack of proper medical facilities. However, SKT hospital provides essential medical services free of charge across all departments, making healthcare accessible to those who need it most.
The impact of this hospital is immeasurable. It is not just a place where people receive treatment; it is a sanctuary of hope and healing for the most vulnerable groups—widows, orphans, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. For many, the SKT Specialized Hospital is the only place they can turn to when faced with medical emergencies or ongoing health concerns, as they cannot afford treatment elsewhere.
Beyond offering life-saving interventions, the hospital also provides regular check-ups, preventive care, and essential services, which improve overall health outcomes in the community. The free medical services relieve the economic burden on families who otherwise would be forced to choose between paying for medicine or buying food. In a region where suffering is widespread, the SKT Specialized Hospital serves as a beacon of barriers.” care, compassion, and dignity, offering families the healthcare they desperately need without any financial

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
Access to clean drinking water remains a critical issue in rural Pakistan, where many rely on contaminated surface water or open wells. The dual threats of floods and droughts, intensified by climate change, have only worsened water scarcity and health risks.
Water Hand Pumps
In 2024, SKT installed over 2,855 hand pumps in remote areas of Punjab and
Sindh, directly serving more than 14,275 people. These hand pumps brought water access to households that previously walked kilometres to collect unsafe water—relieving the burden on women and girls and dramatically reducing waterborne illnesses.
Filtration Plants
For areas where groundwater is inaccessible or contaminated, SKT established
safe drinking water to 15,000 people, with far-reaching impacts on community health.

Health Interventions
In Pakistan’s rural and underserved regions, access to healthcare is limited by distance, affordability, and lack of facilities. Many communities lack basic supplies, trained professionals, and diagnostic tools. Outbreaks of dengue, cholera, and polio further strain local systems, while maternal and child health needs often go unmet.
Cancer Diagnosis Centre – Rawalpindi Medical University (RMU)
Cancer Diagnosis & Triage Centre at RMU, serving millions. This pioneering facility enables early detection and specialist referrals, particularly for low-income families. It is a cornerstone of SKT’s long-term investment in health equity and disease prevention.

Zakat Fund
‘ ; . .
The
obligation of Zakat represents far more than charity. It is a form of wealth
purification and social justice, designed to uplift the most vulnerable members
of society. In 2024, SKT Welfare's Zakat Fund played a vital role in addressing
socio-economici inequalities,j offeringj targeted supportj j to thosej mostj j in need
across
the United Kingdom, Pakistan, and multiple international crisis zones.
By digitising both collection and distribution, SKT ensured that Zakat was
ered efficiently, securely, and in full alignment with Islamic principles of
compassion, and transparency. Every transaction was traceable, and donors
were provided with assurance that their contributions were reaching verified
Zakat-eligible recipients.
In the United Kingdom, SKT distributed ASDA food vouchers to low-income
families, including refugees, asylum seekers, and others facing food poverty
social exclusion.
In Pakistan, 50 families received monthly food and financial support, helping
them meet essential living costs and restore a sense of stability.
Beyond these two core regions, Zakat funds also supported seasonal distribu-
tions in Syria, Somalia, and Yemen, including:
