The Noor Project is a 501(C)3 NPO with a mission to equip impoverished communities with the tools to escape poverty and, thus, become self-sustainable. We strive to achieve the
above through carefully curated programs proven effective to our mission including: literacy, career workshops, health clinic and pharmacy, dental clinic, food bank, feeding center,
orphanage, elderly home, roti project and legal aid cell.

The Project Aims

The Noor Project aims to raise marginalised families above the poverty line by supporting the families for the short–term and – vitally – by striving to make them self-sufficient in the long-term through its comprehensive suite of programmes.  Over a period of 3-6 months, as well as providing families’ basic needs such as food, grocery, healthcare and child education, the Project provides adult family members with the skills to find well-paying jobs in the market. 

"The Foundation has developed an important relationship with The Noor Project over a number of years and we are delighted to extend this support. The Noor Project is delivering incredibly important work in some of the most disadvantaged communities in Pakistan, helping local communities to become thriving self-sufficient engines for change."
