Playful Futures Pakistan: Building Joy through Play

As a Right to Play Board Member, father, and doctor, supporting girls' empowerment through sports in Pakistan is deeply personal to me.

Access to sports and play facilities can have a profound impact on a child's development and while my daughter has the freedom to pursue her passions and interests, girls in Pakistan are often sidelined, their potential stifled by systemic barriers.

This is why I am advocating for the establishment of a girls' play space in Pakistan to level the playing field and ensure that all girls, regardless of their background, have access to the transformative power of sports.

My goal is to fundraise $100,000 to build recreation and sports facilities in Pakistan and give back to the country that gave me so much. But I need your help to turn an empty plot of land into a safe play space for girls.

Not only do sports promote physical health and well-being, but they also nurture important life skills such as resilience, teamwork, and goal setting. This is why I am partnering with Right To Play to build two sports and play facilities in the village of Dhido Wali Tehsil Daska, within the Sialkot-Punjab district. 

Right To Play has been operating in Pakistan for over 15 years as a leader in the sports for development sphere. Working across 25 rural and urban districts in the country, this organization has improved learning and health outcomes for over a million children in Pakistan. 

Every donor will receive an automatic charitable donation receipt for each gift towards this project via email. I sincerely appreciate your generosity in bringing this project to life. Please share this page with any friends, families, or colleagues that might be interested in supporting.
