CEENA Health & Welfare Services
Northern Areas, Pakistan
CEENA was formed with a mandate to provide pragmatic solutions to the emerging issues in the community that were being overlooked. In this way, CEENA became a voice for the voiceless and unheard.
The Northern Areas of Pakistan is a beautiful, but very poor area. Its harsh climate, isolated areas and lack of communication facilities provide many challenges to the people who live there.
CEENA is an issue-based organization, identifying what needs to be done at what time and responding to those needs.
Amongst its key achievements are:
- Establishment of a blood bank, which has saved lives and raised awareness about blood donations;
- rovision of medical relief services to the poorest patients coming from far-flung villages;
- Purchase of life-saving drugs for needy patients;
- Organizing health awareness programmes;
- Supporting needy children kept out of school due to parents’ inability to pay the school fees;
The establishment of an Empowerment Centre where talented students from across the Northern Areas are housed and looked after during their studies. It also provides a refuge to abandoned and orphaned babies and children until they are adopted. Adoption is usually from other parts of the world in families that have the means to provide a comfortable life for these children.
