What we do

Healthcare That Changes Future

In Karachi, primary healthcare often depends on affordability, not need. The Zubaida Machiyara Trust (ZMT) breaks that barrier with doctor consultations, lab tests, medicines and specialised programs for women and children, close to home.

ZMT began with three clinics. Today it runs 33 clinics and 4 mobile eye clinics across Karachi — Orangi, Korangi, Landhi, Machar Colony, Lyari and Baldia. Your donation keeps them open every day.

Why Supporting Primary Healthcare in Karachi Matters

Many neighbourhoods have no affordable doctor, no lab and no specialist care nearby. For a daily-wage family, one hospital visit can cost a day’s income. Your donation means they never have to choose.
