The Shahid Afridi Foundation has completed more than 750 homes across Pakistan, providing disadvantaged families with secure housing and access to solar energy. Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi announced the milestone on social media and called for donations to extend the programme to more families.
Housing programme grows beyond earlier milestone
The latest total marks an expansion of the foundation’s housing work. In June 2025, Afridi said the charity had built 350 homes in Sindh and Balochistan; his new announcement puts the nationwide figure at more than 750.
In his post on X, Afridi highlighted both the shelter and solar power available to families through the initiative. He described the homes as a way to give recipients greater security and the prospect of a better life.
Afridi asks supporters to keep contributing
Afridi credited supporters and donors for helping the foundation reach the milestone, thanking them for their contributions and continued confidence in its work. He appealed for further support so that more families in need could own a home.
The former all-rounder also encouraged people to donate through text messages. His appeal stressed that modest contributions could still make a meaningful difference to those receiving help.
A wider charitable effort
Founded in 2014, the Shahid Afridi Foundation works across several areas of humanitarian support. Alongside housing, its initiatives cover:
- Education
- Healthcare
- Clean drinking water
- Emergency relief
The housing announcement adds to Afridi’s charitable work beyond his international cricket career. He represented Pakistan in 27 Tests, 398 one-day internationals and 99 Twenty20 internationals.
