Almighty Allah has blessed Pakistan with long coastal belt which is full of marine resources. However, its 85% population is living below poverty line and extremely lacking in provision of basic amenities. Overall literacy rate is less than 40% and only 27% of women are literate; which is world’s lowest. Moreover, no comprehensive health related quality infrastructure exist there. Only 2 x hospitals are available for usual ailments, whereas, serious patients are referred to Karachi for treatment. In case of emergency/ accidents, death rate is quite high due to non-availability of Trauma Centres in the area. Power shortage is another challenge on the coastal belt and nearly 25% of its population doesn’t have access to electricity. Further, 10-14 hours load shedding is regular feature. This situation becomes worse in the summer. Less than 24% of its population has access to piped water and less than 7% has access to internet.
In this backdrop, SAHIL WELFARE ASSOCIATION was established on 13th April 2014 as a Not for Profit NGO setup under Section-42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984 to exclusively focus on the deprived needy brothers and sisters living in small fishing villages and coastal settlements spread all along over 1000 km coastline, so as to improve their well-being & quality of life.

Its Board of Directors comprises of philanthropists from civil society as well as senior serving naval officers from field commands and Commander Coast serves as ex-officio Chairman. Besides undertaking various projects in health, education, water, energy and rehabilitation, it provides all out support to the bereaved families affected by natural calamities/ disaster.
