In the second week of March, the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) began its drive to collect zakat for 2023.
According to Dr. Faisal Sultan, CEO of SKMT, this year’s campaign theme is to lessen the financial burden of cancer on families who are already struggling financially.
When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, there are numerous difficulties, not the least of which is the cost of the treatment and any related costs like lodging and transport.
“In these conditions, your support plays a significant part in lessening the burden of cancer,” he said. The Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust has been able to offer meritorious cancer patients high-quality care for the past 28 years thanks to the assistance of kind people like you.
