FUNCTIONAL AREAS
LEGAL AID
SBTI is the pioneer in providing legal aid to all those who cannot
afford it. In Pakistan many people get wrongly sentenced for a crime
they did not commit only because the other party was more
influential or the innocent party did not have enough evidence to
prove their innocence. In case like these, SBTI provides legal
assistance to these people helping them get out of a unfair sentence
or any other legal problem
Apart from that aid is also provided to Pakistanis who are stuck
abroad and are unable to come back home or any foreigners who
are unable to go back home. Recently they helped was a British
National who came to Pakistan 10 years ago for the purpose of
training university teachers. He got caught up In work here and
overstayed his visa validity. He contacted the British embassy both
here and in England but got no response from either of them. SBTI
eventually helped him fulfill all his legal dues and travel back to
England.
Upon our visit we met a couple of sisters from Rwanda who were
unable to go back home. They were brought here by their own sister
and brother in law who later seized their passports, kept them
captive and also starved and tortured them. They somehow
managed to run-away from their house and a kind fellow brought
them to SBTI Shelter home. Their sister, upon their escape, pressed
charges against them for theft. Now SBTI is fighting their case in
the court on its own expense. Not only do they have to reclaim their
passports and other documents they also need to remove the theft
charges before the girls could travel back home safely. SBTI is not
only providing them legal aid in this case but those girls are staying
12
at the shelter and Mrs. Burney also takes them for their court
hearings and meetings with the lawyer. After coming to the shelter
the girls were also able to contact their parents back in Rwanda and
inform them about their well-being.
Sarim Burney Trust International also rescued the children who
were abducted from Pakistan and taken to the Middle East for
camel jokey where they were tied to the camels during the race and
would get severely injured or even die. These children were brought
back home by SBTI and reunited with their families.
SHELTER HOME
The Shelter Home was established with the aim of providing refuge
to exploited women and children. The shelter home is home to over
150 women and children all with their tragedies and forsaken by
their own loved ones. At this shelter you can meet children of all
ages who lost their parents or got separated from them. Many of
these children are orphans and have seen such harsh realities of
life at such a tender age. These children were left alone on the
streets at the mercy of the cruel society. Many of them were raped,
tortured and exploited. One child at the shelter whose mother is in
jail was rescued from the jail where he was being raped by other
prisoners and was also given drugs. All of this caused him to lose
his mental balance and also his ability to speak properly. After
coming to the shelter and being loved and cared for the past one
year, he has regained some ability to speak and has also become
sociable.
Here you can also meet mothers who dedicated their entire
existence to their children for the entire time they were growing and
are now left by the same to die alone. Some of these women were
also tortured by their sons and thrown out empty handed. The boys
they raised to be their pillars in the old age and their support in
their last moments were the ones who put them in such immense
misery. Their eyes are now dry and their hearts empty and all they
13
wish for is a dignified death. Mrs. Burney took these women in and
treated them like a child should treat their mother in her old age.
SBTI takes care of their treatment and medicines and make sure
that they experience no discomfort. The young girls at the shelter
have been trained by Mrs. Burney to treat these ladies like their
own grandmothers and take care of them at all times.
Here you would also meet young girls who with the fear of losing
their sanctity ran away from their homes and saved their lives by
coming to the shelter. SBTI also opened its doors for girls who got
deviated and went onto the darker path because of which they were
forsaken by their families. These girls get a chance to rehabilitate
and also learn from their mistakes. SBTI not only provides a roof on
their heads but also a three time full meal, education and training
to function in the real world whenever they finally leave the shelter.
When these girls come of age Mr. and Mrs. Burney also find for
them suitable matches and marries them off with dignity so they
can start the next chapter of their life like any other girl and forget
all the darkness of the past.

RELIEF WORK
the child once he or she turns eighteen. This is done for the security
of the child in case of an unfortunate event.
RESOURCE COLLECTION AT SARIM BURNEY TRUST
Sarim Burney Trust is aware that it is impossible to cover every
eventuality of resource collection and distribution, and therefore a
set of guidelines have been designed to identify the areas that need
to be considered and the types of controls that can be put in place.
Sarim Burney Trust implements these guidelines as instructions
from which to ensure transparency and credibility within the trust
itself.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
A large-scale shelter Program, with a growing network of shelter
homes, requires support in many capacities and larger resources of
funds. The legal aid Program of Sarim Burney trust is funded
entirely with charitable donations and to join the cause of providing
free legal aid to the underprivileged and help and bring hope and
happiness to the people of Pakistan.
A shelter home of Sarim Burney in Karachi was first established in
North Nazimabad by Sarim Burney himself. Around thirty percent
donations come from Pakistan and other donations come from
United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, United Arab
Emirates, and Bahrain.

Sale of Passes
Sarim Burney Trust sells the passes of any event they organize.
This way of raising finance not only covers their expenses incurred
in organizing their event, but it also leaves a surplus amount which
is included in the donation after paying up all the incurred costs.
Similarly, Sarim Burney Trust also offers charged passes for their
event which everyone except the Chief Guest of the event is
supposed to buy. This year the passes were priced at PKR 600 and
it effectively contributed towards the generation of handsome
donation as well as paying up the bill of Sherraton hotel.
Sources of Human Capital
Sarim Burney Trust manages human resources in the most
efficient way possible, there is a limited number of salaried
employees hired and that too are in the legal aid division mostly
consisting of lawyers. In order to manage the operational activities
at the shelter home, Sarim Burney Trust allocates duties amongst
the residents of the shelter

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS
Funds are allocated quarterly via a meeting of board of trustees
which is communicated once a quarter, in this meeting it is decided
on schedule of events and projected requirements of Funds for the
coming quarter.
An aspect worth mentioning here, the allocation of funds also
follows a thumb rule of directing funds first over the operations of
shelter home first. The Flow of funds is also managed as such that
there is least waiting times for innocent people waiting for free legal
aid.
Donations for legal aid and shelter homes is recognized as income.
Donations related to operating fixed assets e.g. for building and
repairing shelter home etc. received in cash are recognized as
deferred income and amortized over the useful lives of assets from
the date the asset is available for intended use.

expenditure account on the date at which the transaction takes
place. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Sarim Burney trust has gained success in past couple of years and
their work and dedication can be seen by the activities they do. The
trust carries out lots of task though they have many future plans.
They want the trust to reach at very high level. They have many
aims but their short term aims are:
1)
Parents home.
2)
3)
4)
To cure patients who are orphans and disabled with alliance of
the hospitals.
5)
According to Mr. Sarim Burney all the projects are planned already
but they are looking for the opportunity to start the projects. He
believes that with the increase in the network with people and
appreciations by the people it will become quite motivating to start
the project as soon as possible. His first priority in the plan of
projects Is:
PARENTS HOME
In our language the shelter for old age people is called old age
home. MR Sarim Burney disagrees with the name and believes that
every old people in this world are like our parents. In the trust there
are so many old women who are so happy in the current shelter
that they do not desire to go back home. The condition of the
parents in our society has been very vulnerable and the situations
24
parents face in their old age by their children is very difficult. There
was a women in the trust who used to be beaten by his son because
she used to stop him from consuming drugs and other illegal
activities. An another women reported that her daughter in law
used to beat him so badly and her son never said anything. MR
Sarim Burney strongly believes that there should be a very big
shelter for the old people where they can be treated like parents, he
wants to give those parents the life a child should give to his or her
parents. On our visit a women reported that the love Sarim give to
me is exceptional. Mr. Sarim reported that there are many
challenges we have to face by the children. For example a son
dropped his mother in our shelter, after few days he came back and
asked for her mother just because he realized that his mother used
to do his house work and his wife used to rest. But his mother did
not want to go back. On this the son reacted and used to come
again and again and used to blackmail the guard of the shelter. On
another occasion when a mother came to Sarim Burney herself, her
son told the police that MR Sarim Burney has forcefully kept his
mother in the shelter. He want to make a proper parents home
where their will be a proper custody agreement between the trust
and the children of the parent. He want to make sure that the
parent he is giving the place in the parent home do not get any
problem and spend rest of the life getting all the benefits that a son
give to his or her parents. He also intends to provide all the security
to the old age people. In the shelter for parent and old people he
intends to provide medical facilities more then the current shelter
as old people are more subjected to the diseases.
Then the second priority of the trust is to start:
