HYDERABAD: The Al-Khidmat Foundation women’s wing organised a Sasta Bazaar in the grounds of a school in Latifabad on Sunday.

Apart from essential food items, clothes and shoes were also sold at discounted rates in the bazaar where about 300 low-income families shopped.

A representative of the foundation’s women wing, Farah Naz, said that the foundation, affiliated with Jamaat-i-Islami, had been working for the welfare of people.

“In the first phase a medical camp was organised and now the Sasta Bazaar has been held. In the third phase we intend to distribute dowry boxes and sewing machines among deserving families,” she said. She appealed to philanthropists to support the organisation in its noble cause.
