Re: Charity is alive and well in Pakistan
yep, we give charity and in a large sum. but not to the ones who really need em.
u can always find scenarios where ppl have done Haj and Umra on charity money. :)
ps. we are not a poor nation cuz we dont have resources, but cuz we are dishonest.
you are right, with such huge sums of money involved, i am sure the abuses are rampant too. so it seems here that giving is not the problem but rather who or what you are giving to...charities like the Eidhi Foundation, Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, Zindagi trust, HDF etc are being run mainly on these donations from the people directly, and considering that running these charities require millions, it is safe to say some of it is going in the right hands.
