The Dawat-e-Hadiyah trust, run by the Bohra community in Karachi, has donated Rs20 million to the Emergency Corona Fund established by the Sindh government.
Sindh government’s spokesperson Murtaza Wahab thanked the community in a Twitter post on Friday. “On behalf of the Sindh Govt and our people, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dawat e Hadiyah and Bohra Community for its generous contribution of Rs 20 Million into the CoronaReliefFund,” Murtaza Wahab said.
So far, the government has given Rs3 billion while private donors have given more than Rs60 million to the fund.
This money, the government says, will be used to give rations to poor families, especially daily wage workers who are being affected by the lockdown.
