JDC Foundation Pakistan is a non-governmental organisation working towards providing healthcare services, financial assistance, meal distribution, disaster relief and education to those who need it the most.

The organisation has been extending support to the poor for the past 12 years in Pakistan.

As the country was locked down to control spread of the Covid-19 virus, JDC Foundation stepped forward and distributed ration packs to the needy.

A number of celebrities and noteworthy media personnel also joined the initiative and distributed these packs in many areas; these included, Fahad Mustafa, Ahsan Khan, Faisal Qureshi, Humaima Malik, Dua Malik, Yamna Zaidi and Ayub Khoso among others.

Under the leadership of Mr. Zafar Abbas, the organisation was able to distribute about 35,000 to 40,000 ration packs in a day.

Under the Daster Khawan initiative, JDC Foundation makes food arrangements for about 50,000 people on a daily basis.

To feed the poor, the organisation also runs an iftar meal distribution program every Ramazan.

The organisation has also been involved in facilitating Covid-19 patients at the Expo Center Karachi and running a hospital that is managed by JDC Foundation in collaboration with Lakhani Trust.

Among its many other initiatives, the organisation has been actively working to free Karachi of the pollution and waste that has accumulated due to the recent thunderstorms.

JDC Foundation initiated a 'Clean Karachi' program that collected waste from several areas across the city.

The organisation also provides technical and academic knowledge to those who cannot afford it, with the help of qualified professionals who volunteer for the cause.

In a bid to facilitate those neglected by society at large, the organisation has set up an old age home in Karachi which provides the old with food and shelter free of cost.
