ADVERTISEMENTUpdated 12 May, 2021 10:20am In a developing country like Pakistan, a community with high quality healthcare, sound education system and infrastructure, safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities seems like a far-fetched dream. A few visionary individuals joined hands in 1979 to turn this dream into a reality for the most vulnerable population of Pakistan. Health And Nutrition Development Society (HANDS) believes there is a lot of untapped potential in the country which can be unraveled through the provision of basic amenities. Founded by Professor A. G. Billoo (recipient of Sitara-e-Imtiaz, the third highest honour and civilian award in the country), with some of his students in 1979 in a remote village of Dur Muhammad located in the outskirts of Karachi, HANDS has served for 41 years as one of the largest non-profit organisations of the country, with an integrated development model and disaster management expertise.
