About
Kashif Iqbal Thalassaemia Care Center is one of a facility in the country where Thalassaemia patients are treated free of cost. This trust came into being when the 16-year old boy of Mr. Iqbal died from this dreadful, genetic disease. Today, he along with his highly dedicated family and staff members work day and night to save children from dying. And they don't ask for donations. People, rich and poor, pour their bank accounts and their sympathy to this organization.
Today, with 18 branches across Pakistan, this trust serves countless children and adults by educating them on this disease, its prevention, and providing free testing facility to all who want to know whether they are a Thalassaemia minor or not. Two Thalassaemia minors must not marry. If they do, the chances are that 1 in 4 children born will be a Thalassaemia major. And that's a life-time of a problem.
The above photographed child is 12 year old from Peshawar. She is a Thalassaemia Patient and therefore needs regular blood changing to keep her alive. She is very intelligent and wants to learn English. She has no other major interest in life. Kashif Iqbal Trust is looking after her with skill, dedication and lot of money. Please help them keep her and countless others alive by funding the trust. For further details contact:
