by Uswa Foundation
From the bustling streets of Lahore to the farthest corners of Pakistan — we are on a relentless mission to provide hope where it's needed most.
A registered non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing injured animals and uplifting underprivileged families across Lahore — with a vision to reach all of Pakistan.
Hope by Uswa Foundation was officially registered in 2026, but the seeds were planted much earlier. In 2024, Uswa Ahmad — our founder and President — started rescuing stray animals from the streets of Lahore entirely on her own. With limited resources but an unlimited heart, she treated injured cats and dogs, arranged shelter, and rallied her friends to help.
The turning point came in 2025 when Uswa, alongside co-founders Mohsen Aslam and Moawiz Ahmad, opened our first animal shelter — a safe haven where rescued animals could recover and heal.
Today, we combine emergency animal rescue with direct community aid: monthly ration packages, winter clothing drives, and financial support for families in crisis. We are currently based in Lahore, but our ultimate goal is to expand this model across all of Pakistan.
Meet the passionate individuals driving our mission forward every single day.
The heart and soul of Hope. Uswa's unwavering compassion for animals and dedication to community service are the foundation of our organization.
Mohsen brings operational expertise and strategic vision. He manages our shelter infrastructure and ensures every rescue mission runs efficiently.
Moawiz heads community outreach and public relations. His ability to connect with people has been instrumental in growing our volunteer network.
Every statistic represents a life changed — an animal saved, a family fed, a community lifted.
With over 1,200 animals rescued, 500 families supported, and 150 active volunteers, our work is just beginning. We are committed to expanding our reach and impact across Pakistan.
We started in one city — but our dream knows no boundaries.
At present, our operations are concentrated in Lahore, where we run a fully functional animal shelter and administer community welfare programs. In the coming years, we plan to establish regional chapters in every major city, creating a nationwide network of rescue and relief. Our goal is to set a new standard for animal welfare and humanitarian aid in Pakistan — and to inspire communities everywhere to join the movement of compassion.
