Considering the deplorable conditions a huge sector of our nation lives in, it becomes heartwarming to see an organization like the Hamid Ismail Foundation focus their endeavors towards the betterment of some part of our poverty-stricken neighborhoods, trying to bring a ray of hope to their lives.
In a huge metropolis like Karachi, the citizens of Shanti Nagar had surprisingly been deprived of clean drinking water.
The Hamid Ismail Foundation has taken it upon itself to make an effort towards the living conditions of these citizens and undertake development projects to improve them.
Recently, on the 11th of July, 2019, the HIF inaugurated a Water Filtration Plant and RO (Reverse Osmosis) Plant that it had installed in Shanti Nagar.
The plant is expected to provide clean drinking water to at least 5000 individuals living in Shanti Nagar, which is a huge step up to their current living situation.
Not just this, the organization has previously helped renovate a football ground in the neighborhood, along with painting their streets and planting trees there as well.
The Hamid Ismail Foundation is an individual effort by Mr. Hamid Ismail, an emerging business leader in Pakistan. He is the CEO of Bisconni, and is recognized as a force to be reckoned with in the corporate world.
With respect to this event, he reportedly commented, “It’s been a relentless effort to install this plant and it has taken continuous hard work and dedication to pull it off after overcoming various hurdles. Our commitment to bringing clean, drinking water to those in need has been strong, and we have been able to achieve what we set out to do.”
With a progressive mindset and a will to bring a change in people’s lives, Hamid Ismail with the HIF aims to give access to clean water to at least 3 million individuals through RO plants, invest in more developmental projects including playgrounds and parks for children, and improving the environment of run-down areas as part of their undertakings.
A happy, uplifting environment would be a fresh start for many of the underprivileged in Pakistan. Hoping for more such organizations to take up other deserving neighborhoods in Pakistan under their wing and work to make life better for them.
