SHARE Welfare Society is a registered non-profit organisation committed to advancing human dignity and sustainable development across Pakistan. Through community-driven programmes, strategic partnerships, and evidence-based interventions, SHARE empowers marginalised communities to overcome
poverty, strengthen resilience, and create lasting positive change.
SHARE Welfare Society is an independent, registered, non-governmental, and non-profit organisation based in Punjab, Pakistan. Established in 2000 by a group of educated and socially committed individuals, the organisation began voluntary work to address pressing health, education, and social development challenges faced by vulnerable communities.
To strengthen its impact, SHARE Welfare Society was legally registered in 2021 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 with the Joint Stock Companies, and re-registered with the Punjab Charity Commission under the Punjab Charity Act (V of 2018), ensuring full compliance with provincial charity regulations. Over time, the organisation expanded its programmes across health, education, livelihoods, resilience, disaster response, and capacity building, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Pakistan — reflecting its commitment to transparency, accountability, and collaborative development locally and internationally.

Founder
December 23, 1977 – June 16, 2020
Dr. Ashar Mahmood, born on December 23, 1977, in the village of Kot Shahan, was a visionary leader dedicated to serving marginalised communities. Losing his father at a young age, he faced personal hardships that shaped his empathy, resilience, and lifelong commitment to helping vulnerable populations.
In 1995, he began volunteering with social and medical organisations, demonstrating early leadership and dedication to humanitarian service. In 2001, his integrity and vision led him to be elected as a local councillor, where he promoted peace, social welfare, and inclusive development.
Driven to create lasting change, Dr. Ashar Mahmood combined his medical expertise with philanthropy. He established free dispensaries, provided medical care, food assistance, and humanitarian support to widows, orphans, and disadvantaged families, serving everyone without discrimination.
Through consultation with friends, he founded SHARE Welfare Society — translating his vision into a sustainable organisation focused on community empowerment, human rights, and inclusive development.
“Dr. Ashar Mahmood passed away on June 16, 2020, but his legacy continues to guide SHARE’s mission and shape every programme we deliver.”
