Aik Naiki

The organisation started its work five years ago, when just a few college students distributed iftar boxes to the needy and to those stuck in traffic. Since then, the group of students has extended into an army of social workers. 

Apart from hosting Iftar drives at a number of places such as KMDC in North Nazimabad and outside Jinnah hospital, where they feed more than 1000+ people every day for the entire month, they have various other programs during the rest of the year as well. 

Some of the programs Aik Naiki organises are health and education campaigns, and the Thar Ration Drive. You can help Aik Naiki fulfill their wish of serving the people of the entire country and not just Karachi by donating to their causes.
