And am proud to say that we\u2019ve delivered educational and residential projects for over 1,500 children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut now our mission extends far beyond the wall of the orphanage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are extending to serve those affected by natural disasters and poverty, by providing access to free healthcare services to the people of Kashmir and Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have committed to developing a hospital and on site educational facilities &#8211; a vision to establish a first of its kind medical centre stemming from a profound need for accessible and quality healthcare services in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe healthcare system operates under strain receiving just 2.5% of the government budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis insufficient allocation has resulted in shortages in healthcare.
