ABOUT SACAN
SACAN was registered in March 2013 in an effort to formalize SACAN’s charity work which has been in progress since 2007. Development work in Pakistan has been marred by corruption, mismanagement and inefficiencies resulting in billions of dollars spent; with little change to show for. Citing this, SACAN’s core team decided to lay the foundations of a long term plan to improve the quality of life of masses by using their own personal savings. Experts having extensive project management experience ensure that the funds are employed efficiently and benefits of the projects are reaped by the recipients in the best possible manner. Our projects also benefit from SACAN Services’ infrastructure which ensures that each rupee spent on a project goes that extra mile.
