Introduction

The Mother and Child Welfare Foundation emerged in 1992 as a non-governmental and non-political registered organization, with an agenda to disrupt and eventually destroy the cycle of poverty primarily through strategies of public health education, dissemination and interventions aimed at boosting the nutritional status and environment of families residing within Sindh.

MCWF registered with directorate of social welfare on 18th July 1996 with registration number DSW(s)/924.The foundation has now vested twenty three years in realizing a vision of a self-reliant, self-confident and self-aware society by empowering women, children and individuals in the field of nutrition, health, education and social environment.

What began as a charitable intention by a handful of public spirited ladies and Volunteers under the chairmanship of Dr.Fahim Aijaz in 1992 has expanded into an organization that provides free quality health services, nutrition-based interventions, family counseling and breast feeding practices training. Furthermore, it also provides technical and vocational training and livelihood creation for women, alongside access to educational resources-both academic and physical – for children residing within underprivileged communities.
