How We Operate
The executive committee of Child Aid Association is elected every two years and has the authority to:
Raise funds through direct outreach, fundraising events, and donation campaigns.
Ensure proper disbursement of funds with full accountability.
Make strategic decisions for future projects.
We maintain strong working relationships with the National Institute of Child Health (NICH) and ensure financial transparency through audits by M/s. Muniff Ziauddin & Co., Chartered Accountants.
OUR MISSION

We rely on generous contributions from individual donors and corporate sponsors to continue this lifesaving work.
