Empowering Ability, Inspiring Humanity
Championing Inclusion, Dignity, and Self-Reliance Since 2010
Support Trust is a non-profit, humanitarian welfare organization established in 2010. Driven purely by public goodwill, philanthropic partnerships, and the spirit of self-help, we are committed to uplifting marginalized communities, flood survivors, and especially persons with disabilities across Pakistan.
Our Story:
From Humanitarian Relief to Inclusive Sports
Established in 2010, Support Trust stepped forward during some of Pakistan’s most challenging humanitarian crises. In the aftermath of the devastating 2010 and 2011 Sindh floods, the Trust provided critical emergency relief, built permanent homes for displaced families, and restored basic living infrastructure for underserved communities.
Guided by a vision to address long-term systemic neglect, Support Trust shifted focused energy toward the most marginalized segment of our society—persons with disabilities (PWDs). From educational aid and physical assistance to social empowerment, the Trust has continually created platforms where special individuals are recognized not by their limitations, but by their extraordinary potential.
Leadership with a 50-Year Legacy
The Visionary Leadership of Kishwer Zehra
At the heart of Support Trust’s enduring mission is its Chairperson, Kishwer Zehra—a renowned social activist, former Member of the National Assembly (MNA), and a self-made champion of human dignity.
Her journey in public service spans more than five decades, beginning at Civil Hospital Karachi under the mentorship of Dr. Adib Rizvi in the Urology Ward—a pioneering movement that evolved into the world-renowned institute, SIUT (Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation). Even today, she continues her honorary, selfless services at SIUT.
In the political arena, Kishwer Zehra served not as a conventional politician, but as an unwavering advocate for social welfare and human rights. She spearheaded landmark legislation in Pakistan’s National Assembly for the fundamental rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities, overcoming legislative hurdles until it was formally passed into law.
Sports Complex & Rehabilitation Complex
Pakistan’s Premier Exclusive Haven for Differently-Abled Champions
Recognizing Kishwer Zehra’s lifelong commitment, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) provided a dedicated ground on Kashmir Road. Utilizing her MNA development funds and philanthropic goodwill, Support Trust transformed the site into a state-of-the-art sports and wellness complex built exclusively for differently-abled athletes and students.
The complex features:
- Multipurpose Athletic Courts: Expansive cricket grounds, badminton courts, volleyball facilities, futsal grounds, and a dedicated swimming pool.
- Secure, Free Membership: To ensure complete safety and dedicated access, admission is strictly reserved for registered members, special education institutes, and their caregivers free of cost.
- Free Rehabilitation Center: Providing specialized physical therapies, psychological support, and primary medical care to alleviate mobility barriers.
- Vocational & Training Center: An upcoming training facility offering market-driven skills, including computer education, music therapy, and adaptive vocational crafts.
Our Operating Philosophy
Self-Help, Total Transparency, and Public Trust
Support Trust receives no regular monthly government grants. Every recreational session, therapeutic treatment, and community outreach initiative is sustained entirely through individual philanthropy, community donations, and self-help initiatives.
We believe in zero barriers—ensuring that every differently-abled child and adult, regardless of socio-economic background, receives dignity, joyful recreation, and an opportunity to thrive.
