Our Recent Causes
Zakat Fund
Zakat FundIQBALIAN Loan Fund
Iqbalian house (Philadelphia, PA) has been utilized young physicians from Allama Iqbal Medical College since 2005. Young Iqbalians had been able to utilize this housing resource, in absence of available online resources or similar mechanism through APPNA. They would use this as temporary housing while finding clinical observorships, research attachments, giving USMLE exams and during residency interviews. It has catered scores of Iqbalians but there was no mechanism of financial support for young Iqbalians. Seeing the benefits, which Iqbalian house is providing to these Iqbalians, AIMCAANA leadership decided to help it in becoming a better and more organized unit. In 2009, AIMCAANA started paying the rent of Iqbalian house in the form of Qarz-e-Hasana. The motive behind paying the rent is to reduce the financial burden of young Iqbalians so that they can concentrate more on exploring the avenues to get into the residency training, which is their primary motive to come to United States. AIMCAANA leadership has also been providing counseling and mentorship to the interested Iqbalians. Now AIMCAANA’s Qarz-e-Hasana program is replaced by IQBAL loan.AIMCAANA General Fund
