A project which took off from seeking donation for an orphan child has now flourished into full-fledged phenomenon of Pakistan Sweet Homes where more than 3,000 orphan children are living, said Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM) Managing Director (MD) Zamurad Khan.
The Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal MD stated this while addressing a ceremony “Awareness Campaign for Sports Week of Pakistan Sweet Homes (PSH), which is going to be held on March 18 to 25 in Sports Complex, Islamabad.
He told a big gathering of deans, head of departments, faculty members and students at IT Auditorium of NUML that he was grateful for the generosity of university’s administration and authorities that the moment he spoke about the project of PBM, they offered all out support for further promotion of this sacred cause.
