Canadian PM Justin Trudeau lends support to Shahid Afridi Foundation

Legendary Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi setup a charitable trust with the sole objective of providing basic health and educational facilities for the people and now the philanthropist is getting some help from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The Shahid Afridi Foundation was established in March 2014 with the objective of devotedly providing Pakistanis with better health care and educational services. The non-profit organization is a registered under the 501 c (3) in the United States of America.

Recently, an annual fundraiser by Islamic Relief Canada was arranged in Vancouver, Canada and the prime minister of the North American country, Trudeau, requested his nation to contribute in the Shahid Afridi Foundation for helping it make a hospital in Pakistan.

The cricketer thanked Trudeau through social media post saying, “Thank you Justin Trudeau for supporting the vision of Shahid Afridi Foundation and for your hospitality. Canada is a nation of great people. A special thanks to Islamic Relief Canada, the Pakistani and Indian community of Vancouver for your generous contribution for Kohat Hospital, as together we all are #HopeNotOut.”
