Our Organization

PAAS Foundation was established in 2019 by Dr. Merium Saidi. Purely humanitarian in spirit, we decided to start our work in Pakistan where Dr. Saidi was born and more specifically, in Loon Khan, Sindh-where her maternal grandfather, Mr. Raja Ahmad Khan had been involved in charitable relief efforts since the 60s. He entrusted the responsibility of continuing his work there to her before passing away in 2013.

PAAS Inspiration

PAAS foundation is inspired by Dr. Merium Saidi’s four grandparents who were all social activists in their own unique ways.  The name PAAS is a combination of the initials of their first  names (Parveen, Ahmad, Aslam, Sajeela)
