Chitral Times Report
ISLAMABAD: Hashoo Foundation categorically denies the reports about the wind up of Hashoo Foundation and does not concur with the assumptions mentioned in the article. In a press release to Chitral Times, to clarify a newspaper report of 06th September, 2018, titled “Hashoo Foundation urged not to wind up from Chitral”, he said that HF will continue to further the vision of Mr. Saddruddin Hashwani, the founder of the Foundation, to reach the underprivileged especially the people of Chitral. Mr. Murtaza Hashwani, Chairman of the Foundation is following his father’s lead in a very effective manner, and has placed great importance on support to the people of Chitral. In fact, he is establishing the Hashoo Hunar Training Center in Chitral to empower the local youth through employable skills and entrepreneurship training. The article itself highlights and appreciates the contribution of HF in various fields but at a certain point emphasizes more on rumors or assumptions, which are at direct odds with the Hashwani family’s public-spirited efforts. Chitral remains one of the top priorities, and Hashoo Foundation has no plans to wind up as mentioned in the article under discussion. However, there are certain major stumbling blocks not only to our projects but also to other national and international NGOs. The Hashoo Foundation, continues with its legacy and puts in place other ventures beneficial for the locals of Chitral, it has only modified its regional office design.
