My name is Fr. Bashir Francis. I am a Catholic priest belonging to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Faisalabad. I know CLARA NGO right from its birth.

As it started functioning, it began delivering as one of an undeniably skilled, transparent and categorically accountable organization.

Its Executive Secretary, Madam Salva had been often times inviting me for various programmes held under the umbrella of CLARA. I always found the transparency of the construction works and fair deliveries of charities to the needy, deserving and the less fortunate. It is truly a beneficial organization for the deserving individuals and marginalized communities living in its target areas.

I pray for the successful continuity and long sustainability of CLARA NGO. I wish continued good luck to Madam Salva and her team accompanied by abundant spiritual grace and good health to carry out the uplift works for the impoverished and backward areas.

Dear Salva,

I would like to express that I have been very happy about our cooperation in the past years.

I very much hope that it will be possible for us to continue to support CLARA in the years to come.

I first came to know about CLARA nearly 20 years ago when I was the Bishop of Faisalabad Diocese. At that time there were many small NGOs working in Faisalabad. CLARA was among the very few that functioned efficiently with an admirable outreach, especially for the education of marginalized and underprivileged children. CLARA was also active in other areas for uplift and development.

I was pleasantly surprised to know that CLARA has expanded its work to Rawalpindi and other areas as well.

I wish and I pray that the good work that is being done may reach many more deserving people, May God bless and guide Salva Rafiq and the dedicated team of CLARA in the good work they are doing.
