Al Mustafa Welfare Trust Pakistan has completed the construction of a residence for the caretaker of a local eight-acre cemetery in Tanda, Gujrat District, marking another step in its commitment to community welfare and public service.
A special ceremony was held to inaugurate the newly constructed house and formally hand over the keys to the appointed caretaker responsible for the maintenance, supervision, cleanliness, and grave-digging services at the cemetery.
The residence consists of two rooms, a kitchen, a washroom, a courtyard, and a boundary wall, providing comfortable accommodation for the caretaker and his family.
The event was attended by Ms. Nusrat Saleem, Managing Director of Al Mustafa Pakistan, who participated as the chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, representatives highlighted the importance of maintaining public burial grounds and ensuring that those entrusted with their care are provided with suitable living facilities.
The caretaker, while receiving the keys to the house, expressed his gratitude to Al Mustafa’s donors and local office-bearers for making the project possible. He said the new home would greatly improve his ability to perform his duties and serve the community.
Among those present at the ceremony were Mahmood Akbar, President of Al Mustafa Tanda, Muhammad Nawaz Kharal, Head of Media and Public Relations at Al Mustafa Pakistan, along with local officials, community members, and donors.
Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has previously undertaken several development projects at the same cemetery, including the construction of a mosque, ablution facilities, and public washrooms. The organisation also continues to oversee the upkeep, cleaning, maintenance, and repair of the cemetery’s funeral prayer area.
The initiative reflects Al Mustafa’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities through sustainable welfare and infrastructure projects that serve both present and future generations.
