COPE achieved remarkable success in fundraising, garnering substantial funds earmarked for sending a team of medics and surgeons to Gaza to perform life-saving operations and respond to medical emergencies. Additionally, the funds will support COPE’s ongoing initiatives in Pakistan, including the construction of water sources, schools, houses, Masjids, and the provision of essential services such as cataract surgeries, wheelchairs, and support for orphan weddings.
The organisers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors whose contributions will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the most vulnerable individuals in Pakistan.
