Aabroo-Izhar Medical Centers

Unqualified medical and dental practitioners are abundantly available in the urban slums. These medical practitioners mostly use steroids and so many other prohibited drug and cheep pricks. Their diagnosis is mostly wrong and is a major cause of spreading other diseases among these people and their children. This is a very normal for slum residents to seek medical assistance from such medical practitioners. With the very generous help from M/s. Izhar Construction (Pvt) Ltd., Aabroo has started evening medical centers at the "Aabroo Welfare School" to facilitate free medical assistance to the children and their families. This medical assistance is also available to the local community as well. Patients requiring hospitalization are referred for admission in Jinnah Hospital Lahore or Hijaz Hospital Gulberg. These hospitals provide free medical and surgical facilities to these poor patients. Screening of students against Hepatitis and Tuberculosis is also been undertaken free of cost at both hospitals.

 Adult Literacy centers

Aabroo Welfare Schools also conduct separate evening classes for the illiterate Adults from the local community. Separate classes for men and women are conducted on alternate days. The objective of adult literacy program is to help these poor people to become respectable citizens of our society.

Aabroo Jhugi Literacy Project

Punjab has four major gypsiy tribes, Changars, Mirasees, Jogies and Madaries. Cahngars normally profess in rag picking and scrap collection and selling. Mirrasees earn their living mostly through their women singing and dancing on the festivities of poor habitats. Women and children of Changars and Mirasees also beg in the evenings to supliment their income. Jogies are snake charmers and live on the earning from playing and exhibiting snakes in the streets of villages and cities. Madaries keep aminals like bears, monkeys, goats and dogs etc. They train these animals to show tricks and entertain people in the streets of villages and live on this earning. Jogies and Madaries are far more mobile than Changars and Mirasees. These tribes prefer to live in closer vacinities of big cities.

Aabroo took to start literacy project for the women and children of Changar and Mirasee tribes and very successfully established separate Jughi Schools in the clusters occupied by these tribes in Johar Town and PECO Road areas in Lahore. Presently 80 women and young girls of Jhugi dwellers (Gypsies) are being taught Namaz, Quraan and the basic literacy within their clusters. 300 children are now enrolled in these Jhugi Schools for conventional school education.

Some basic needs like water supply and clean washrooms are also made available in these locations for a healthy living.
