SECOURS ISLAMIQUE FRANCE (SIF) is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance and development aid worldwide. Since 1991, SIF has been working across more than 20 countries.

In Pakistan, we have been actively serving vulnerable communities & marginalized groups since 2010 by providing them humanitarian assistance during emergencies and also support them through the implementing of sustainable development programs in the areas of Child Protection & child Wellbeing, WASH, Food Security & Livelihoods, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Education during both early recovery and development phases.

SIF is currently providing its services in all provinces of Pakistan, including; Sindh, Punjab, Baluchistan, KPK, and has a presence in 33 most vulnerable districts. In light of increasing challenges ‘such as’ inflation, illiteracy, poverty, and climate change, as well as their association with limited and shrinking resources like; water, food, and livelihood opportunities, SIF believes that there is a high need for enhanced collaboration between NGOs and government institutions. SIF is fully confident that by sharing experiences, innovations, and lessons learned under such coordination, we can collectively improve the well-being of children and alleviate the miseries of the communities across Pakistan.
