Improve Health for Mothers & Children in Pakistan

Dear Friends,

Thanks to the generosity of donors like yourself, our three projects in Sindh, Pakistan treated 70000 patients in 2015. Our clinic in Gharo has seen a substantial increase in patient numbers. Since the start of the new year, we are averaging almost 120 patient per day at our facility.

Our charitable healthcare clinics are providing quality healthcare to those who are in dire need of our support. Your contributions are pivotal in helping those in greatest need. One such patient is 10 month old Usman. Usman’s father had passed away and he was bought into the Civil Hospital’s RBUT Pediatric ward by his uncle, a poor farmer barely able to support his extended family.

Usman exhibited typical symptoms of gastroenteritis: high fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
Severely dehydrated,he was provided immediate treatment at the ward to stabilize his condition. All his medications were provided free of cost by SHINE Humanity. He was released from the ward after three days after a complete recovery.
Unfortunately cases like Usman’s are very common in countries like Pakistan, where often poverty, unhygienic conditions and unclean water cause children to fall seriously ill. On an average children less than 2 years frequently get 6 or more infections a year.

Although diarrheal illnesses are a major source of mortality in developing countries, treatment for severe infections is often out of reach for those who are the most vulnerable. Government resources are often limited and mismanaged. We need your support to treat patients like Usman and countless others who throng the Pediatrics wards of Civil Hospital Shikarpur. Your donations will give these children a second chance in life.

We look forward to your continued support in 2016 !

Thank you

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your continued support of helping our patients receive the highest quality of medical care. Your generous donations help support patients such as one year old, Omar Baksh to get the necessary healthcare aid. Omar came into SHINE’S clinic in Gharo on November 24^th of 2015 severely dehydrated and suffering from malnutrition, weighing in at a less than nine pounds upon his arrival. His father stated that they were very poor and could not afford to take Omar to a doctor, although, he had been sick for the past ten days and had been vomiting continuously. They had just found out about SHINE’S charity clinic and therefore came here.  With the help of our doctors our clinic was able to provide Omar with the necessary treatment and fluids to stabilize him. He was later referred to a government children’s hospital in Karachi for further management. Omar’s story is nothing new in Gharo, there are thousands of children in Pakistan suffering from malnourishment everyday.

Over 65,000 needy patients have benefited from the support of our generous donors this year. Please continue to support SHINE Humanity in our effort to help treat those who severely need assistance and can’t get it on their own.

On behalf of SHINE Humanity and its beneficiaries, we offer our heartfelt thanks and wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year.
