Meri Pehchan Welfare Foundation is a Lahore-based non-governmental organization (NGO) working for the socio-economic development of the society with the aim of helping the weaker sections by providing various facilities through this platform. These include free education, skill development, free health care.
Pakistan is a country with many challenges like high inflation and growing poverty which is the biggest hindrance to the functioning of a better society. Socio-economic problems and their devastating effects on the entire society have increased manifold over the years. The political and civil service institutions seem ineffective and incompetent to deal with these challenges.
Meri Pehchan Welfare Foundation was created to operate on national level and provide humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable and needy segments of society. Meri Pehchan are dealing with real-life problems and trying to find innovative and effective solutions to lift Pakistan out of these challenges.
Meri Pechan Welfare Foundation is a non-political, non-governmental, and non-profit organization, which is committed to serve humanity especially vulnerable and marginalized segments of the society without any discrimination to contribute to their well-being, health, education, financial sustainability, livelihood, and other aspects of life.
Meri Pechan's Health Care Program is a nonprofit healthcare provider that offers a range of free medical services and affordable healthcare options to low-income families, uninsured individuals, and under-served communities in Pakistan. Like health camps in remote areas, mobile clinics and community clinics that provide essential healthcare services at subsidized and reduced rates.

Pakistani uneducated women have a low socio-economic status compared to literate Pakistani women. Their socio-economic and demographic characteristics have proved their subservient status in the patriarchal society of Pakistan. At Meri Pehchan we believe women need opportunity and encouragement. If a girl can climb mountains, she can do anything positive within her field of work and can be economically free and independent. Skills, capacity building and opportunity can bring a big change.
However, there are a host of structural and socio-cultural barriers that continue to curtail women and girls’ mobility. A highly patriarchal society, regressive social norms and gender stereotypes give rise to discrimination and violence against women and girls. This sewing journey can empower these women. With these Skill-share classes, they explore a wide range of sewing topics, tools, and techniques, from knitting, quilting, and tailoring, to embroidery and crochet. These tailoring classes for beginners or someone who got lots of experience with a needle and thread, can take their skills to the next level with classes in needlework, cross-stitch, textile design, and using a sewing machine, all taught by talented designers, tailors, and crafters.
They can learn to sew with patterns and make clothes, bags, art, and plush toys. Design and make your own textiles. Learn about garment construction by creating cut and sew garments from scratch, and get hands-on experience by completing and sharing your own sewing projects.
Meri Pehchan is committed to providing widows, divorced, orphans and abandoned children with support they need to lead a fulfilling life. So far, over 2000 children have received quality education, healthcare, nutritious food, clothing, and toys through Meri Pehchan Orphan Care Program.
