Organisations and Jamaats in Pakistan

Pakistan is home to the largest network of Memon organisations in the world. Following partition, these bodies played a nation-building role, establishing industrial zones, hospitals, and educational institutions that serve the entire country.

Key Roles

In Pakistan, Memon organisations operate on a massive scale. They run some of the country's largest charity hospitals and ambulance networks. They are also pivotal in disaster relief, often being the first responders during floods or earthquakes. Their vocational training centers empower thousands of youth annually.

Major Bodies

The All Pakistan Memon Federation (APMF) is an umbrella body coordinating between hundreds of smaller Jamaats. The Edhi Foundation, founded by Abdul Sattar Edhi (a Memon), is a global symbol of humanitarianism. The Memon Medical Institute in Karachi represents community excellence in healthcare.

Geographical Presence

While Karachi is the hub, hosting the headquarters of major Jamaats like the Okhai, Kutchi, and Halai bodies, significant organisations also operate in Hyderabad and Sukkur, managing local community centers and graveyards.
