Established in 2015, TARS Foundation® has become one of the most trusted and successful non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political charity organizations of KPK Province of Pakistan, registered under KPK Charity Commission Act 2019, Social Welfare Ordinance XLVI 1961 and the Societies Act XXI 1860. Since its inception, it has been providing Timely Aid and Relief Support (TARS) to thousands of needy families in Peshawar and surrounding areas.
Founded by local patron Abdul Majid Qureshi and later joined by dedicated volunteers committed to making a difference, the foundation has since supported thousands of families and individuals. All of our work is entirely funded by generous donations from people around the world, who contribute in various forms, including cash, food, clothing, shelter, medicine, sponsorship, adoption, advocacy, education, and volunteering.
The name “TARS” is derived from the abbreviation of Timely Aid & Relief Support, which is our slogan in Urdu as "بروقت امداد اور مصیبت سے نجات میں سہارا" and this word "TARS" when pronounced also depicts Urdu word “ترس”, which means to have sympathy, and compassion of helping any living creature in need.
