Our Story.
From Compassion to Community Impact
Founded in 2016, Caring for Cannots Foundation (C4C) is a Lahore-based NGO created by professionals committed to empowering special children. What began as a shared vision among friends has evolved into a community-led movement, providing free education, therapy, and home-based support to children with intellectual and developmental challenges across underserved areas of Pakistan. In partnership with renowned institutions like Amin Maktab, we bring care where it’s needed most — right into the heart of every community.

Children Under Care
Lahore-Wide Community Coverage
Home-Based Rehabilitation Personalized Support for Special Children in Lahore
At Caring for Cannots (C4C), our collaborative efforts with Amin Maktab in their Outreach Programme are transforming lives. This initiative involves the recruitment of educated women, known as Community Resource Persons (CRPs), from targeted communities. These dedicated individuals play a crucial role in identifying Special Children within their respective areas.
A skilled team from Amin Maktab, led by a psychologist and comprising special educators and physiotherapists, conducts thorough assessments to understand the unique needs of each child. A personalized and professionally designed plan is then created, engaging not only the child but also their parents and family. Regular follow-up visits by both CRPs and the Amin Maktab team ensure that the children receive the prescribed care and support, fostering holistic development.
What began in one underprivileged areas of Lahore has now expanded to four locations. With the invaluable support of Amin Maktab, C4C has established four Centers of Learning in Begumpura, Mohlanwal, Township, and Walton. These centers serve as hubs for education and vocational training for Special Children who, though capable of leaving their homes, face barriers to accessing mainstream schools. Each center is tailored to meet the needs of 15 to 25 children.
Our dedicated teachers, carefully selected and trained by experienced Amin Maktab staff, work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment. Amin Maktab’s professional teams, led by a psychologist, make regular visits to monitor the progress of each child, ensuring that they receive the attention and care they deserve on their journey to a brighter future.

From Begumpura to Berlin Suneha’s Unstoppable Journey
Born in one of Lahore’s underserved neighborhoods, Suneha’s path was never easy — but with resilience, support, and a spark of belief, she rose above every barrier. Her inspiring journey from Begumpura to Berlin stands as a powerful reminder that with the right care and opportunity, extraordinary things can happen.
OBITUARY
It is with extreme sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the sad demise of Mr. Muhammad Sulaiman Baqapuri (MSB),. who passed away on April 16, 2024. Sulaiman was one of the seven founding members of Caring for Cannots Foundation (C4C) and also served as the Secretary of the foundation since inception.
He however never limited himself to his official role but became one of the main drivers for resource mobilization for the foundation acting as a catalyst for donations from his friends and family. Apart from the above he voluntarily handled the treasurer function as well because of his commitment and selfless dedication to the cause. He and his wife regularly visited the various centers established by C4C and lent a helping hand towards recruitment of the teaching staff.
Being an artist in spirit with a keen aesthetic sense he helped to develop the logo for the foundation as well getting all the stationary printed pro bono. He was always available for on going consultations with Amin Maktab, our main partners.
In June 2023, when a student at Begumpura, Lahore (Suneha) was selected to represent Pakistan at Special Olympics in Berlin, he went out of his way to assist her in getting the required documents and ensured that timely payments were made to facilitate her travel to Berlin for participation in the Special Olympics.
Sulaiman was a gentle soul and always had a slight smile. He was a very generous donor even other than the foundation. While in ICU, being physically weak and compromised, he remained cognizant of his responsibilities and kept sending funds on the first of every month, to different people who were on his long list of recipients.
We at C4C, his friends and most of all his family will miss him greatly. It will be very difficult to fill his shoes.
May the Almighty grant him a place in Jannah and should be give his family the strength to bear this irreparable loss. Ameen.

United for Inclusion: C4C × Fountain House
Through a powerful joint venture, Caring for Cannots Foundation and Fountain House have launched a Community-Based Rehabilitation Project at the Institute for Special Children. Together, we provide holistic, home-based care and inclusive support for children often overlooked by traditional systems — extending help beyond school age and raising awareness in underserved communities.
Joint Venture Of Fountain House & C4C
Our Community-Based Rehabilitation Project at the Institute for Special Children.
At the C4C for Special Children, we believe in unlocking the potential and abilities of intellectually impaired children through our Community-Based Rehabilitation Project. With the right support at the right time and approach, these children can lead independent lives to the best of their abilities.
It’s alarming to witness the significant number of such children within our communities. Yet, much of the existing work in disability support remains largely focused on special education, often neglecting infants, severely impaired individuals, and adolescents.
Here’s where we step in:
Extending Support Beyond School Age: Many children, due to the severity of their impairment, are unable to secure admission in special schools. This could be due to age limitations, costly treatments, limited capacity in special schools, or transportation challenges.
Raising Awareness: There's a pervasive lack of awareness among parents, professionals, and the wider community regarding disabilities and their management. Through our project, we aim to bridge this gap by providing education and resources to empower everyone involved in the care of these children
Together, let’s nurture a community where every child, regardless of their abilities, is embraced with love, support, and opportunities for growth.
