"Pakistanis the highest giving nation in world"
Pakistanis are part of the highest giving community in the world when it comes to philanthropy. Chairman of the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) Dr Shams Kassim Lakha stated this while speaking at the Global Philanthropy for Development Forum at The Frederick S Pardee Centre, Boston. Dr Lakha said the developed world, in terms of philanthropy, has now become not only a potent donor but is driving the development agenda of the underdeveloped world. “Philanthropy thus is now recognised as a significant global player that can help assuage suffering through providing both relief and sustainable remedy if strategically utilised.

Specially Pakistanis in Qatar top the rank in Middle East. There is no doubt that all of you will be rewarded by GOD Al Mighty. Keep up the good work.

The act of giving should be held in the highest regard, such that when the right hand gives, even the left hand doesn't know about it.

@desertshark .... i suggest that you read the comments on the thread before posting your own negativity just for the sake of it ... or rather u can choose to shut up.

You will know y i say this if u read the comments above.

@Bee ... you can sue Gulf times for publishing something without supporting facts and figures.

Giving charity is also a religious obligation in form of Zakat.

Bee... Most of the funds/donations go towards the poor people but again its not enough.

I suppose it should be corrected to read as "the highest aid receiving nation". Their benefactors the americans have been complaining that they have been giving so much aid to this country and it all seems to be going down a bottomless pit with nothing much to show for it

Shame that postings like this are done without any statistics to support. They should give to their own people - many of whom live below the poverty line!!

theexiledsaint... I don't think anyone will say anything to a crowd of multicultural and multinational audience just for the sake of saying.

Why government of Pakistan is requesting donations is in fact the corrupt regime. Its not for the Pakistani citizens/people in general and the donations are never spend on them also.

So a Pakistani says that the Pakistanis are the biggest givers..... hardly objective is it.

If that is true why does Pakistan request and need large donations from the rest of the world?

Its good to be charitable but you shouldn't really boast about it....
