People give Rs140bn to mostly unregulated charities: "KARACHI: The money Pakistanis donate to different charities may easily have swelled to Rs140 billion since the last philanthropy survey was conducted 10 years ago, said Dr Shams Kassim Lakha, Chairman Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP).
Dr Lakha, who is also President of Agha Khan University, told The News in a recent interview that a household survey carried out in 1998-99 showed that people were giving away a total of Rs72 billion in charity, though mostly to organisations that are neither regulated nor maintain audited accounts."
