Thousands of people come and go in the world every day but there are only a few of them who live their lives in such a way that history remembers them always. Mohammad Pervaiz Malik is one such personality.

He was born on November 18, 1947 in Lahore. After completing his education, he got involved in the textile business and spent his life as a successful businessman, a successful politician, and above all, a social worker and philanthropist.

It is a testament of his philanthropy that he founded an organization “Lahore Businessmen Association for Rehabilitation of the Disabled” (LABARD) that has been serving Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) since 2000 and he remained the honorary president of LABARD until his last breath.

LABARD had also started the construction of an international-standard, state of the art, and fully accessible Rehabilitation & Vocational Training centre on an 8-kanal piece of land at canal bank, Harbanspura, Lahore. Muhammad Pervaiz Malik performed the ground breaking ceremony and arranged funds for the completion of this project. He was to formally inaugurate this Rehabilitation & Vocational Training centre in November 2021, but before that he left the mortal world.

So far, more than 100,000 special persons have benefited from the services of LABARD free of cost. These services include counselling, vocational training, provision of employment, provision of assistive devices, medical facilities, interest free loan, educational scholarships and financial assistance.

Pervaiz Malik had given up all his business and political engagements in the last 1 to 2 years due to his health issues but his love for humanity and LABARD remained the same. He always spent his quality time with LABARD serving the humanity at large.

We believe that his services for the most neglected segment of the society will be a source of forgiveness for him. May Allah Almighty make his grave one of the beautiful gardens of heaven and shower His blessings upon him. Ameen!
