About Us
At Apna Farz Sewa Society, we believe in extending a helping hand to those in need, beyond just financial support. Our journey began approximately 6 years ago when our founder, Pal Kharoud, encountered a woman suffering from severe pain caused by worms in her head. Despite her agony, no one stepped forward to assist her. Driven by compassion and a desire to alleviate her suffering, Pal Kharoud personally removed the worms, providing her much-needed relief.
This experience ignited a passion within him to seek out and help others facing similar hardships. Within six months, he had treated several individuals with comparable conditions. One notable case involved a man who had been chained and enslaved by his own family for 12 years to prevent him from reclaiming his property. Pal Kharoud’s intervention not only freed the man but also restored his dignity.
Inspired by these encounters and with the support of the community, Pal Kharoud established Apna Farz Sewa Society on his personal land in the village of Lachkani, Patiala. Our facility, spanning approximately one acre, serves as a sanctuary for those in need.
We invite the community to join us in our mission by contributing one-tenth (dasvandh or 10%) of their income, whether financially or through direct support such as building materials, medicine, clothing, groceries, and covering utility bills. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of the disadvantaged.
