Our donors are always interested in the work the charity does and how their contributions are used. It is an honour to receive them when they visit the hospital in Pakistan. We were blessed in the last year by the visit of Mufti Liaquat Amod, former imam, Shah Jahan Mosque, Woking and Fazilat Hussain Shah, Hajji Mushtaq and Khawaja Saeed, who have visited twice already. Another important visit included Amjad Ashraf, a chartered accountant in the UK. We are grateful to his firm for preparing the HWH accounts this year. Some of the guests and visitors from Pakistan and the UK are fondly remembered by staff and local people for actually donating on-site.

Hashim Welfare Association (HWA) is an integral part of our charitable organisation. It was set up locally to manage the affairs of the HWH and has been performing its function very well. The very smooth and effective running of the hospital would not have been possible without the full-time dedication of Hajji Malik Mohammed Nawaz who is native to the village, land donor, patron of the charity and father of Dr Awan.

Annual budget meeting, March 2009

Our first patient was treated on 1 June 2003, after he completion of phase one of the hospital building.

The second phase of construction is currently in progress.

As Ramadan 2008 comes to a close supporters of the Hashim Welfare Hospital have been updated on the progress of the appeal during this years Muslim holy month. Leaflets setting out the progress made since the foundation stone was laid in 1999 and the first patient seen in 2003 show that there has been steady progress.

Thanks to your continued support we have been able to expand our clinical services and begin Phase 2 of the Hashim Welfare Hospital.

 

A unique feature that has emerged among our donors over the past five years is that they enjoy visiting the hospital - on occasion with unwell relatives and friends.

Dr Awan has recently returned from an overseas fact finding mission to see how the Hospital he founded is developing. 

 

Our charity was ranked third out of ten from the Gujrat district, recognised for its work by Choudary Shujahat Hussain, ex-PM of Pakistan.

 

We received a donation of Rs50,000
