About
In January of 2007, Mr. Fiyaz established the Javed Fiyaz Charitable Trust (JFCT) in large part as a response to the recent catastrophic earthquake that struck Pakistan. Though the Trust aims at easing the plight of underprivileged people throughout the world, the Trust is currently focusing its activity on health and education issues in Pakistan. It is our hope the Trust will bring new opportunities for those in need and ultimately a brighter future for Pakistan.
The trust has been working closely with ERRA (Earthquake Rehabilitation & Reconstruction Authority) who have been put in place by the Pakistani government to help the victims of the disaster as well as the military division who have all worked and continue to work hard to help the thousands of people affected by this humanitarian crisis. In addition to successful partnerships with the ERRA and local government bodies, in Pakistan, the JFCT is privileged to have Lord Ahmed of Rotherham as its ambassador. Liaising with government organisations and military officials, his expertise ensures the funds received are allocated to essential projects, these projects advance at speed and are a successful part of the rebuilding process.
The Trust, in partnership with ERRA, has recently been involved in the construction of a new hospital and university in Pakistan. The recent earthquake completely destroyed the main hospital in the Baagh area of Pakistan. A new hospital, equipped with the latest medical technology, has already been constructed by the Trust and is currently in operation. A new, and modern, girl's school has also been constructed in the Chakoti area of Pakistan, boasting 24 classrooms and an advanced science lab. Mr. Fiyaz also recently donated a large sum of money for the purchase of corrugated sheet metal, this will be used for the rebuilding of schools, a hospital, a university and 3000 homes in Pakistan.
In addition to working with the ERRA, the Trust also cooperates with various governments and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Working with the Turkish government, the Trust completed construction, in only nine months, of a university capable of educating 3000 students in the Muzaffarabad area. Partnering with a Kuwaiti NGO, the Trust has also built a state-of-the-art hospital, equipped with medical technology rarely found in Pakistan.
