Beginning of our Journey

In 2005, the Sarwar family struggled to find quality health-care for a sick family member. In that same year, a devastating earthquake shook regions of Pakistan and many families were left without basic supplies and health-care services. Throughout the relief effort, the Sarwar’s became one of the largest donors amongst existing charitable organizations in the region and in 2013; they expanded our efforts internationally to reach a wider scope of people. By supporting international projects through in-kind and financial donations, BSF aims to build more sustainable and productive futures for vulnerable populations by working particularly in three sectors which are health-care, education and humanitarian development.
