A group of Pakistani businessmen has established a school for orphaned children near Kampala, Uganda, as part of a humanitarian initiative to support education and social welfare in the local community. This reflects the Pakistani business community’s commitment to support underprivileged communities beyond its borders while promoting compassion and social responsibility. The initiative aims to provide orphaned children access to learning opportunities for a better future.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to Uganda, Ashar Shahzad, described Uganda as a land of opportunities for Pakistani traders, highlighting potential in agriculture, services, and manufacturing. He urged Pakistani investors to explore business prospects in Uganda, noting attractive returns due to limited competition.
Hexalyze CEO Saad Shah emphasized the Pakistani community’s active engagement in humanitarian efforts worldwide, saying the new school underscores their commitment to supporting vulnerable segments of society. He also highlighted East Africa as an untapped market for international investors, encouraging Pakistani businessmen to establish commercial ventures and partnerships with local businesses for mutual growth.
This initiative shows how Pakistani businesses and communities can blend commercial engagement with social responsibility, creating a positive impact in their host countries.
