Pakistan Association Dubai - A Legacy through Sharing

The belief that strengthening individuals, strengthens the community

Pakistan Association Dubai has been serving the community since 1963. It’s passion to support the wellbeing of members of the community is eminent with the remarkable achievements it has made.

A nonprofit, volunteer organization regulated by the Community Development Authority, it is the voice of 1.5 million Pakistanis in the UAE. Within a year, the association will be equipped to be the most latest and state of the art community organization amongst others.

It facilitates the less fortunate ones with educational support, health care, social welfare and various other programs to upscale and uplift the community. The association is a strong pillar of guidance to any member who is in need of a shoulder.

“It is without a doubt that the new not for profit Pakistan Medical Center will bring light into thousands of lives residing in the UAE. It will be a symbol of unity and giving back to the community. Physicians will remind themselves and the public of the true meaning of healthcare, which is the selflessness and beauty of caring for everyone, regardless of reward. This center will be a new beginning for the less fortunate, because it will allow everyone to unite as one. I am certain that this medical center will not only play the role of a nurturing mother, but also prosper and accomplish its goals.”

“The Pakistan Association Dubai has successfully provided the Pakistani Community in Dubai with leadership in generating a community spirit. This community spirit is evident from the successful completion of the Pakistani Auditorium Dubai, the commencement of construction of the Pakistani Centre Dubai (including the Pakistani Medical Centre), the success of the monthly Medical Workshop, the Meena Bazaar, the food rations distributed in Ramadan and its general welfare activities. Indeed it is heartwarming to see that the Dubai Community Development Authority is so wholeheartedly supporting these projects.

The next step is to exponentially expand the base of Pakistanis who can support the activities of the Pakistan Association Dubai. Hopefully the under-construction Pakistan Centre will be the magnet which will bring the community together to enable the functioning of the Pakistan Medical Centre and other projects like it in Dubai and Pakistan.”

“In the UAE, Pakistan Association Dubai engages community members through a series of volunteer, awareness and other initiatives. Being passionately involved in so many volunteering endeavors is not for everyone. As an active member of the Pakistan Professional Wing at PAD, I am proud to witness the activities led by the team at PAD and look forward to see them achieve their goals for the first of its kind Medical Center for the masses in the UAE.”
