TAKAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION
Helping every person, everywhere, live a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life
Health
TWO brings essential health care closer to rural families. With partners such as Americares Foundation and PPAF, we have revitalized and solarized Basic Health Units in Swat, D.I. Khan, Charsadda, Nowshera and Lower Chitral, held medical camps and vaccination drives, and run awareness sessions on hygiene, nutrition and mother and child health.
Education
TWO reaches the children and young people most often left behind, especially girls and children with disabilities. Our work ranges from accelerated learning centres and community schools for out-of-school children to classroom rehabilitation, school supplies and English language scholarships. As an active member of the UNICEF Education Cluster, we work hand in hand with government and civil society partners.
WASH
Clean water is the cornerstone of our work. Since 2009, TWO has installed thousands of hand pumps, deep wells and solar-powered water systems in Swabi, Mardan, Nowshera and beyond, with partners including Paani Project, Muslim Charity UK and Muslim Futures. In 2025 alone, the water points we installed served nearly 40,000 people.
Youth
TWO equips young people with the skills and confidence to lead. Through the English Access Microscholarship Program funded by the U.S. Embassy, 245 students in Charsadda, 55 percent of them girls, built their English, leadership and civic skills. Our partnerships with GIKI, UET and the University of Swabi open further doors to research, internships and innovation.
Humanitarian Relief
When disaster strikes, TWO responds quickly and stays to help communities recover. We have supported vulnerable families in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through COVID-19, the 2022 floods, the 2025 Buner floods and displacement emergencies with food, relief items and safe water, while investing in local disaster preparedness. As a member of the NEAR Network and ADRRN, we champion locally led humanitarian action.
Women's Welfare
Empowered women are the foundation of resilient communities. TWO creates spaces where women can learn, earn and lead, through skills training, tunnel farming and enterprise support under initiatives such as Ba-Ikhtiyar Women, women's leadership training and awareness on gender-based violence. Under the Beyond Barriers project with AwazCDS-Pakistan, TWO leads work in District Swabi to open skills training, decent jobs and safe, harassment-free workplaces to women with disabilities.
Food Security & Livelihoods
We help families move from relief to self-reliance. TWO combines climate-smart farming, tunnel farming and kitchen gardens with small business grants, so that households can feed themselves and earn a steady income. In 2025, Zakat grants from Muslim Charity UK helped launch 54 small businesses in Swabi, and seasonal food packs reached families in need during Ramadan, Eid and winter.
Natural Resource Management
We help communities protect the land, water, forests and livestock they depend on. Working through community organizations, TWO restores irrigation channels, builds flood protection works, promotes solar energy and plants trees, such as the 230 saplings planted in Lower Chitral under the Aik Beti Aik Shajar campaign, so that natural resources are managed sustainably for generations to come.
Social Mobilization
How we work matters as much as what we do. Every program starts with social mobilization, so that community voices guide decisions and people own the results. In Lower Chitral alone, we have formed 45 community organizations and 4 village organizations with more than 1,000 members. We mainstream gender so that women and men benefit equally, and we invest in capacity building so that communities can lead their own development long after a project ends.

English Access Microscholarship Program: Graduation Ceremony
From June 2023 to March 2025, TWO implemented the English Access Microscholarship Program in Charsadda with funding from the U.S. Embassy Islamabad. The program supported 245 talented students aged 13 to 20 from economically disadvantaged families, 55 percent of them girls.
Beyond English lessons, students took part in sessions on health and hygiene, leadership, cultural exchange and community service. Their journey ended with a graduation ceremony on 14 July 2025, organized with the University of Swabi, where graduates celebrated new confidence, skills and ambitions. We thank the teachers, mentors and partners who made this possible.
