In desperate times, Socio-Economic Development Programme (SEDP) provides financial assistance for healthcare and sustenance to help vulnerable patients like Zeeshan and their families. SEDP is an initiative of the Ismaili Council for Pakistan which aims to uplift marginalised communities living in the mountainous regions of Pakistan from the vicious generational cycle of poverty.
