  • The Fauji Foundation is a trust setup for the welfare of ex-serviceman and their dependents and is incorporated under the Charitable Endowment Act..
  • The foundation extends services in the fields of health, education, technical and vocational training. This is done through 11 hospitals, 24 medical centers, 82 mobiles and static dispensaries, 98 schools and 2 colleges, 75 technical and vocational training centers. We have also recently established a university with the medical college, a college of regular arts and sciences, and computer sciences.

  • Last year over 2.1 million patients received treatment from our health care chain, of these all most half were those who were treated at major hospitals well over 42,000 being indoor cases. This makes it the most extensive health care in the private sector.
  • Fauji Foundation education system has today almost 38,000 students. Every year about 70,000 stipends are given to the deserving students. Annual budget of these stipends only is 118.5 million rupees.
  • About 6,000 individuals are given technical and vocational training each year.
  • In these areas we spent over Rs. 2 billion last year adding up to a total of rupees over Rs. 21 billion and hence approximately over 80% of the annual earning of Foundation goes into welfare.
  • Fuji Foundation probably is the largest taxpayer Company in Pakistan.
  • The 2nd Power Investment at Daharki is a 175 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant and would be completed in a period of 24 months.
  • The fuel gas of 42% carbon dioxide would be used for power generation for the first time in the country with state of the art equipment, with the net efficiency which would be comparable to the existing power plants.
  • The Power Plant will be in strict compliance with the National Environmental Quality Standards.
  • he Net output of Foundation Power Plant will be 176 MW, and will be sufficient to illuminate 250,000 houses or to provide all power needs of 70 middle sized industrial units or 1500 villages.
  • Fauji Foundation will continue to improve its performance both in the corporate as well as in the welfare sectors. Consequently making a humble contribution in the national economic and social uplift.

|| ADDRESS BY THE CHIEF GUEST

  • It is indeed an immense pleasure for me to be here in the Ground Breaking Ceremony of this 175 MW Power Project of Foundation Power Company. This is a US $ 200 million Power Project to be completed in two years. I would like to right away congratulate the Fauji Foundation for launching this new venture and Mari Gas for supporting it in terms of fuel.
  • I really appreciate all the welfare activities of Fauji Foundation. They have been animated very eloquently by Lt. Gen Arif Hasan, and I know all this; but I did not know the figures. However, their contribution to the welfare of the military and also of the civilians at large is an example of to be emulated.

  • The long-term obviously are the large hydroelectricity and nuclear power plants. But it is the mid term and the short term, which require the urgency. This Power Plant falls in the mid term category which is being completed in 2009 and I hope more such power plants keep coming in the private sector.
  • Energy sector is vital to the growth of any country and therefore it is a very high priority for Pakistan at this moment. Because of the rapid economic upsurge, we are energy short now.
  • Fauji Foundation is not being run by the army, it is being run by retired army people with a lot of civilians. It is contributing to economy of Pakistan and to the welfare of the retired military people and many civilians.
  • I know that in this earthquake disaster, the Artificial Limb Center of Fauji Foundation contributed the maximum.
  • I am proud of fact that I have come here to this very important project which will contribute towards reduction of our power energy sector problems in Pakistan
