SAWF’s projects can be divided into 4 major categories:
Education · Healthcare · Emergency aid · Welfare support
All our work emerges from these fields. For instance building schools and colleges falls into the education category; providing free medical treatment and surgery falls into the healthcare category; providing rapid relief to a population hit by an Earthquake for example is an application of Emergency Aid; whilst arranging sowing classes for village women thereby giving them an extra sream of income is an application of welfare support. Our work, our endeavour “Education, Health, and Welfare”. Our Worldwide Projects:

SAWF is Distinguished from other Charities
We have been operating for over 2 years. This has lent SAWF specialist expertise particularly in the areas of Education and Emergency Relief. For instance, we were the first charity to gain access to the earthquake stricken areas of Balochistan and the displaced people of SWAT valley. SAWF strives to ensure that aid or assistance is not just limited to a day or week. Rather it should be a continuous process until the individuals are considered to be honourable members of society. Our office is open from 8 am – till late, a reflection of the dedication our staff have to the needy around the globe. Due to refined strategic thought, we keep our administration costs to a bare minimum, compared with other charities. This allows us to channel even more finance into our global charitable causes. SAWF is a leading charity in terms of collecting evidence of its work around the globe. We have a massive collection of photographs and video footage for each and every project. A copy of our latest Annual Report is available in the projects section.
