What is Aabroo?

The Meaning of Aabroo

Aabroo is an Urdu word which means dignity and honor.

Located in Lahore, Pakistan, Aabroo Educational Welfare Organization educates the children of domestic servants. These children live in the slums of Lahore, in shanties with no running water, electricity or sanitary facilities. Most of these children go to sleep hungry at night.

Our Mission

Aabroo's mission is to educate these poor and desperate children and prevent them from becoming vagabonds, thieves, prostitutes, and give them hope for a better future.

The Pakistani government's resources are limited and cannot provide services to all the underprivileged children. That is where organizations like Aabroo make a difference in transforming the lives of the poor and desperate children and their families.

Our Story of Positive Growth

2003

The Beginning

Aabroo Educational Welfare Organization (Aabroo) was started in January 2003, when a kind-hearted woman, Robina Shakil, asked the question: "Why should a house servant's child be a house servant forever; why could the child not have a life of dignity and honor?"

The hopelessness of these children weighed heavily on her. She began teaching a few of these children in her neighborhood.

Official Registration

Aabroo was registered in Lahore, Pakistan, under the "Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Ordinance (XLVI of 1961)" in August 2003.
