Saifullah Foundation for Sustainable Development

Saifullah Foundation for Sustainable Development (SFSD) was established in 2002 as an independent non-political, non-profit NGO under the NWFP Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Ordinance.

Begum Kulsum Saifullah Khan, the founding Chairperson of the Saif Group, is the inspiration behind SFSD. One of Pakistan’s pre-eminent social activists and campaigners, Begum Sahiba deeply felt the need for bridging the gap between the less developed rural districts of the NWFP and the mainstream economy and society, through the provision of educational and health facilities and access to economic opportunities.

SFSD is guided by Begum Kulsum Saifullah Khan’s vision, and is developing programs targeting a transformation in the delivery of rural primary health care, the provision of clean drinking water and access to vocational and technical training for the unemployed.

At the Women & Children Hospital in Ghaznikhel, the SFSD maternal and infant health program has successfully treated over 2 000 patients. Moreover, the community outreach medical and public health program has improved the lives of countless families through the adoption of preventive health measures.

In addition, SFSD has provided clean drinking water facilities to 4 villages in District Lakki Marwat and is currently developing facilities for 2 more villages this year.

To improve the employment prospects of the area, SFSD has instituted the Skill Development and Computer Literacy Program in Sarai Naurang, as well as the Vocational Training Centre for Women at Ghazni Khel.
