About us
Supporting Health and Education Deserving fellows
SHED Foundation is a not-for-profit and non-governmental organization consisting of a group of like minded individuals formally joined hands to form the SHED Foundation for the eradication of illiteracy and poor health facility in the most marginalized and poor communities. Since its inception it is working for the promotion of basic health and primary education. It was founded in 2008 with the aim of providing basic health facilities and educating children of the poorest of poor living in the ruler areas of Sindh. SHED also promotes the health and education of girls, as health and education empowers women to break the cycle of poverty and gives them a voice in their future. SHED Foundation has been established with the vision of reaching out to the children of under privileged areas and enabling them to join the mainstream of the society. SHED Foundation was registered in 2011 under the society registration Act 1860 (Kar/144) as a welfare organization.

Water Well Support
In the vast desert of Thar, Sindh, SHED Foundation's initiatives are profoundly transforming lives, bringing vital services and support to remote communities. Recognizing the pivotal role of education, we've established schools and madaris, ensuring children in rural areas have access to quality learning. Additionally, our clinics provide essential healthcare services, addressing medical needs in isolated regions. Water scarcity remains a significant challenge, and our efforts include digging and maintaining wells, providing clean drinking water to communities. With over 220 wells constructed and maintained across villages like Umer Kot, Chachro, and Nanger Parker, thousands of residents now have access to this life-sustaining resource.
