Introduction to MAHAK :
About two decades ago a mother who had experienced having a child with
cancer and had witnessed first hand the difficulties faced by her
child,
pledged to set up a center that would act as a refuge for children and
their
families in a similar situation. With the assistance of the same
friends and
relatives who had helped her through her own ordeal, a board of
trustees was
selected and MAHAK Society to Support Children suffering from Cancer
was set
up as a non profit, non-governmental organization and was registered
under
number 6567 in 1991. MAHAK has been active from that day on in helping
children with cancer and their families.
The organization's pillars are:
-The Board of Trustees
-The Board of Directors
-The Managing Director
The organization consists of the following sections:
-Social work Department.
-Psychology Department.
-Public Relations Department.
-Fundraising Department.
-International Relations Department.
- Volunteer section.
At the start of its activities MAHAK was solely run by volunteers but
later
a dedicated group of staff were employed as the organization's work
expanded. By the end of 2005, 63 full time and 4 part-time staff
members
were working in MAHAK Complex, the Chizar office, the Mellat Tower
office
and the Sattar Khan Welfare Center. In addition to these, there are 19
members of founding members Trustees and Board of Directors and
approximately 200 active volunteers who work for the organization.
Let
us all make a better world for the
