Dr M Mazhar Awan
From the very moment I graduated and began my career in 1982, I was deeply moved by the plight of those unable to access decent healthcare due to limited resources. For over two decades, I worked in environments where quality care was a distant dream for the underprivileged. In 2002, I found a profound sense of purpose by choosing to devote the remainder of my active career exclusively to serving those less fortunate.
This commitment has been unwavering. More than twenty years later, I am profoundly grateful for that sacred decision. The spiritual fulfilment I derive from serving the deprived, underprivileged and underserved is beyond words.
This journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of like-minded friends and supporters. Their material, financial, and moral generosity has been the backbone of our efforts. Though I cannot name or remember all of them, I earnestly pray to the All-knowing Almighty to bless them for every act of kindness in this noble endeavour.
May Allah grant me the time, strength, and opportunities to expand our work. My vision is to create a facility that surpasses what we have built, broadening our reach and accessibility to serve even more of the less fortunate. May my humble efforts be accepted, and may I continue to make a difference in the lives of many during my lifetime and beyond.
Let us join hands to embrace persons with disabilities and dismantle barriers to opportunity. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

Our shared dream of serving humanity and positively impacting our nations has always been a beacon of hope, a vision we have nurtured from our early years of childhood wonder. Over the past fifty years, while our life paths may have diverged, our hearts have always converged on a singular purpose: to serve selflessly and honourably. It is this collective effort, this shared vision, that makes our journey all the more meaningful and impactful.
Vision Trust is not just my endeavour, but the culmination of our collective dedication and passion. Each of us has poured our heart and soul into this, and through relentless efforts, many of our dreams have become reality. Yet, there are still countless aspirations waiting to be realized, and it is your continued contributions that will make them a reality.
Our commitment remains unwavering. We continue to press forward with determination and faith, earnestly praying for two things. First, Allah accepts our humble efforts in this noble cause, rewarding us both in this life and beyond. Second, He blesses us with the strength and capacity to serve even more of His people, expanding our reach and impact.
Together, we are driven by the belief that every act of kindness, every gesture of service, brings us closer to a world where compassion and generosity light the way for all.

It is with profound gratitude and a deep sense of purpose that I share with you the journey and vision of Vision Trust. For over two decades, our mission has been driven by an unwavering commitment to serving the underprivileged and enhancing the quality of life for the underserved. As we reflect on our path and look forward to the future, I am inspired by the impact we have made and the lives we have touched.
Vision Trust was born out of a shared dream—a dream nurtured from our childhood aspirations to make a difference. We recognized the profound challenges faced by those with visual impairments, particularly in low-income areas where access to essential healthcare is limited. From the very beginning, our goal has been clear: to provide high-quality eye care services to those who need it most.
Over the years, we have expanded our reach and refined our approach, delivering critical eye care services to over 100,000 individuals and performing sight-saving surgeries for more than 20,000 people. These numbers, while significant, represent much more than statistics; they are stories of restored vision, renewed hope, and lives transformed.
Our recent launch of the School Healthcare Program marks another milestone in our journey. This initiative aims to improve the vision, hearing, and overall well-being of school children, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive without the barriers of untreated health issues. We understand that the road to comprehensive community healthcare is long and filled with challenges, but we are committed to taking each step with care and precision.
Looking forward, we are excited to expand our focus to include ear and hearing care, further broadening our impact and addressing more facets of health that affect daily life. We believe that by incrementally building our capabilities and services, we can create sustainable and meaningful change.
As we continue this journey, we remain steadfast in our dedication to empowering communities through better health. We pray for two things: that our efforts are accepted and rewarded in this life and the hereafter, and that we are continually blessed with the capacity to serve more of His people.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for being part of our vision. Together, we are building a future where every individual can see, hear, and live a life of dignity and opportunity.

Being a Trustee Vision Trust creates a sense of responsibility as well a source of satisfaction.
The satisfaction is that no matter how humble my contribution may be it is definitely in the right direction.
Though my professional commitments leave a very small opportunity for me to pitch in with Dr. Mazhar Awan and my father Syed Humayun Kalam in their almost daily endeavours, I remain an ardent supporter and pray for the success of the objectives of Vision Trust.
