What people say about us
Its nice to be be back for this visit with Norbert. His efforts in putting up the pump house and the museum are commendable. One sees the integration of the project with the village! Once again we encouraged the people to keep the tradition of building with mud alive. It's a great learning - life coming back to the future!

First of all it’s helping women to earn their livelihood besides working for emancipation of women in a rural area. I bought a doll from an exhibition held in Lahore and simply fell in love with their products. Hats off to this organisation. God bless!

A NEW MILESTONE FOR ANJUMAN FALAH-E-AAMA (AFA)
After a lengthy process involving numerous phone calls, clearances, verifications, site visits and official requests, Anjuman Falah-e-Aama (AFA), the local NGO of the small village of Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka in District Okara, has successfully received its Registration Certificate from the Punjab Charity Commission.
The registration is valid for two years, from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2028.
This is an important milestone for AFA. It strengthens our position as a properly registered organisation and will enable us to continue and expand our various projects for the welfare and development of the people of our village, including our world famous handicrafts project Thatta Kedona. It will also place us in a better position to work with, and cooperate with, different institutions, organisations and potential partners.
We sincerely thank all our friends, supporters and partners who helped and encouraged us throughout this process and contributed to achieving this important milestone.
AFA remains committed to serving Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka and working for the betterment of its people.
