Our Roots: The Behbud Association of Pakistan

For over five decades, the Behbud Association of Pakistan has worked to uplift underprivileged women and families through education, healthcare, skill development, and livelihoods. Founded by visionary women in 1967, Behbud has become one of Pakistan’s most trusted nonprofit movements.

Today, we carry that legacy forward through the Behbud Maternal & Children Hospital, a purpose-built, nonprofit healthcare facility in Rawalpindi focused on safe, compassionate, and affordable maternal and child care.
