Thar Foundation continues its commitment to community development by organizing a free medical camp, installing an RO plant, and scheduling career counselling sessions for students in Thar and Mithi.
In collaboration with LUMHS Jamshoro and Indus Hospital, the medical camp provided free healthcare services to over 630 patients from Gorano and neighboring villages, including Kattan, Muto Jo Tar, Gawaran, and Bard. Specialized consultations were offered in Pediatrics, Gynecology, Sonology, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, and General Medicine. The camp also facilitated Malaria and Hepatitis B & C testing, preventive vaccinations, nutrition supplements, and family planning services. Additionally, over 270 female patients received mosquito zipper nets to help curb vector-borne diseases.
Thar Foundation installed a 5,000 GPD RO plant in Allah Dino Hajam, ensuring the community’s access to clean drinking water. With 22 RO plants across Thar Block II and nearby areas, Thar Foundation currently supplies approximately 1.1 million gallons of clean drinking water each month. Six RO plants are operational in the Gorano area, providing approximately 508,000 gallons of clean drinking water every month to over 5,000 individuals.
Farhan Ansari, General Manager of CSR at Thar Foundation, highlighted the organization’s ongoing contributions to community welfare, stating, “Since 2018, we have been working to enhance primary healthcare services in Gorano. Our partnership with Indus Hospital ensures that quality treatment is available at the people’s doorstep. At the same time, installing this RO unit fulfills our promise of sustainable resettlement, ensuring a healthier future for Allah Dino Hajam’s residents.”
The Foundation also hosted a career counselling session at the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Cultural Complex, Mithi, bringing together educationists, psychologists, and industry experts to guide students on career choices, mental well-being, and the evolving job market.
Experts discussed emerging job opportunities in Thar, particularly in the mining, energy, healthcare, and IT sectors. They emphasized the demand for skilled professionals and encouraged students to leverage scholarship programs, vocational training, and digital learning platforms to enhance their career prospects. The session concluded with an interactive Q&A, where students sought guidance on career planning, industry trends, and skill development.
The events were attended by key stakeholders, including Waheeda Mahesar, Executive Director, ZABTech; Dr. Shaista, Technical Advisor CFC; Dr. Gulzar Usman, Professor at LUMHS; Syed Ahmed Shah, Sikander Sangrasi and other community representatives. Their participation reaffirmed the collective commitment to enhancing living standards across Thar.
