Meenay Laas

Meenay Laas(meaning 'Hand of Love' in Pashto) an NGO was established (Merged with Bihaali Foundation as One Entity) on 28 July 2010 when the worst flood hit the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa displacing thousands of families and there was very little ray of hope for survival. "Meena Gabeena" founder of Meenay Laas visited the area exactly three days after the event where the water level was still high. She went to Nowshera to identify the specific needs of the displaced families. As she came back to the capital Islamabad she fund raised via facebook page that helped her gain attention of different people all around the world because of her close networking.

Her team only had close relatives and friends who were paying visits to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for this cause enabling her to do the work far more quicker than most of the NGOs. 02 Water Filtration plants capable of generating 700L of Pure fresh water per hour were inaugurated by the founder herself even though local authorities tried to keep her off the track but she never lost hope and stood tall.

After various visit to region of Kheshi and the outskirts of Nowshera along with various forms of goods Meenay Laas and Bihaali Foundation is currently working on the reconstruction of the Village itself. Meenay Laas and Bahaali Foundation merged together and now are one entity working together for the betterment of Humanity.

"Bahaali Foundation" will be working on providing model villages with basic infrastructure of various institutions including houses, educational institutions,health center,peace area, a collective livestock farm to be shared by all community members, developed roads etc. while "Meenay Laas" will be working on the education, sustainable livelihood, women empowerment, relief and rehabilitation and elimination of extremism by providing 100% education in the same areas. This way we will be able to completely develop villages.
