Balkhi Welfare Foundation

Our foundation is situated over by Astan Sharief in Pakherpora. This is a very special place for our community, and we are glad to have our small space right nearby. We don't have a formal office with a big sign or anything corporate. Instead, we work out of a simple room near the shrine. It is usually quite peaceful here, though it gets busy when there are a lot of visitors to the Astan Sharief. We started the Balkhi Welfare Foundation because we wanted to do something for the people living in this area. Most of our work involves helping neighbors and talking to the folks who come by. We don't have a big staff or any fancy equipment. It is just a few of us who care about Pakherpora and its welfare. We keep our records in simple books and we don't worry about being high-tech. If you need us, you can just walk towards the shrine and ask anyone where we are. We are well-known in the local area. Sometimes we just sit and talk with the elders to see what the community needs. It is very humble work, and we don't try to make it look like something it isn't. We are just local people doing our bit to help out where we can. It’s a simple life and a simple way to run a foundation.
