Bilawal praises Thar Foundation for ushering in social revolution

KARACHI: PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari acknowledged Thar Foundation’s initiative for community development during the inauguration ceremony of the first phase of the Tharparkar Institute of Engineering, Science and Technology.

“This area didn’t have basic health units, dispensaries and hospitals, but now, with the government’s investment, we have laid a health network in Tharparkar. While coming to Thar, I saw Thar Foundation, which receives a share from the profit generated from coal to ensure that social work continues and to run a hospital,” said PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

He continued, “Tharparkar’s progress is essential for Pakistan’s progress, just the way the progress of all four provinces is essential for the entire Pakistan”.

Thar Foundation has provided free of cost, critical services to more than 400,000 patients at its 7 medical facilities since inception.

Besides health, the Foundation is transforming local communities by educating over 5,000 students (40 percent girls) at 33 schools, supplying over 3 million gallons of clean water monthly through 33 RO plants, and has achieved 100 percent solarization of Thar Block II and nearby villages.
