The Founder
Arshad Shaikh was born in Lahore Pakistan in the late 1950’s. During his time in the country, he has seen the effects of poverty firsthand. He moved to the United States in 1987 but has always had a dream to help the people of his home country.
His mission is to help those who cannot help themselves as prescribed by the Quran and the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him). His passion for helping people in need finally came to fruition in 2017 by starting the nonprofit organization, Caring for Poor.
Our Commitment
Caring for Poor is committed to helping individuals and families throughout Pakistan who currently live below the poverty line. We are committed to helping those who cannot afford the necessities of life, such as food, filtered water and education, as these are major area of need in Pakistan. To provide a secure, preventive and creative environment for new generations of lower class.

We are laying down the foundations for a free of cost, state of the art Educational Institute called We Care School System. We also provide lunch to students too. Free Assistance and consulting for slow learners and children with speech problems. We also provide Free Medical Camps for eyes and general Health check-ups.
