During the lockdown period in Dubai last year after the coronavirus (COVID-19), the PCT Humanity had carried out various activities to support blue-collar workers in their camps to provide health and safety products, food and other necessities.

“The organisation has been active in different countries to serve the less fortunate people without any discrimination of colour, caste and religion as we believe in doing good deeds for everyone in need anywhere,” he said.

He further mentioned that the goal is to save human life from deprivation and work for the provision of every basic need as a basic human right. We believe that what we have done is not enough to end the suffering of the world, but still our efforts give a new motivation to the hopes of thousands of people who are fed up with their lives and lose hope.

The charity organisation had recently helped hundreds of workers in Sajja Industrial Area in Sharjah to provide food and resolve their issues as many were deprived of jobs for months.

Sharing the details, Joginder Singh Salaria pointed that they have a local chapter in Pakistan and are actively busy in a number of welfare and social projects to serve the needy people by distributing wheat flour in Sujawal District. “We are also planning to establish a water plant to provide clean water in District Badin while school uniforms also being distributed in different schools in the area,” he said. 

“With the local support of PCT Humanity, we have different welfare projects as everyone knows that the Tharparkar in Sindh consists of a massive desert and villagers in the district are most of the time deprived of potable water as people walk for 4-6 kilometres to fetch water. PCT Humanity has not only provided clean water to the people in Tharparkar by installing a hand pump in over 40 villages, beside solving food problems of thousands of families by distributing rations in different villages. In addition, the work in the field of education and health for the area people is widely appreciated,” he said.

Aziz Gul, Head Volunteer PCT Humanity in Sindh, told Gulf Today that the PCT Humanity has been engaged in various charity and social works in different countries to serve the underprivileged. In Pakistan, the organisation has done a number of projects in the fields of education and health for needy people with the support of local volunteers. “In areas like Tharparkar, we helped many families especially those had no regular source of income to help them in establishing small businesses,” he said.

Gul further mentioned that during the lockdown period after the coronavirus pandemic last year, a majority of the daily wages workers suffered the most. Addressing this segment of society in different districts in Sindh, the organisation has provided rations among needy families besides distributing warm clothes among the children in winter. “In other districts like Sujawal, Badin and Thatta, the PCT Humanity carried out various social projects for the less fortunate people including sanitising various government and private establishments, spread awareness on COVID-19, renovating two schools for providing education to the children of five villages.
