Tapal with its roots planted deep in the culture and society of Pakistan, takes pride in being a socially responsible and active entity with initiatives in the field of education, sports and medicine.
Under the banner of its social welfare platform Humqadam, Tapal strives to develop support systems for our country’s infrastructure, and set a philanthropic example for others to follow. Some of our activities include:
Tapal Mezban Free Medical Camp
In collaboration with Tapal Hamqadam; the Mezban brand actively contributes towards the well-being of its valued customers by organizing medical camps and other CSR initiatives. The free medical camps are set up in different towns of interior Sindh where healthcare is often hard to access. Patients get the chance to avail free check ups by physicians including ENT, Heart and Skin specialists. They also benefit from the availability of free medicine.
Tapal Chenak Free Eye Camp:
A three day Eye Camp was sponsored by Tapal at Kantio, Umerkot District. The free eye camps were set up to treat a prevalent eye disease in that area called “Cataract” disease. During the camp, more than 250 patients underwent surgical operations absolutely free and were also provided with follow up medicine.
The Citizen’s Foundation Primary School – Tapal Campus
With more then 51% of Pakistan’s population illiterate and government expenditure on education only 2.3% of GDP, the team at Tapal feel that there is an intense need for private, socially active institutions to contribute towards raising the education standard by establishing quality schools. With this vision in mind, Tapal joined hands with The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF) to build its own primary school campuses’ in rural Sindh in order to promote quality education at the grass-roots level in an environment that encourages intellectual, moral and spiritual growth.
TCF is a professionally managed, not-for-profit organization set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned about the state of education in Pakistan and is one of the country’s leading organizations in the field of formal education. The first unit of TCF Primary School – Tapal Campus, Hala, Sindh was made operational in August 2006. The second unit of TCF Primary School – Tapal Campus, Hala, Sindh was completed and made operational in August 2008.
Total enrollment at the Tapal Campus in the year 2008-2009 was 295 students, with the female ratio out of the total strength being 31%. Given the conservative attitudes and cultural restrictions in the local community, this is a very encouraging turnout. With TCF’s policy of hiring an all female faculty, more parents are feeling encouraged to send their daughters to schools, and we hope to achieve our goal of 50% female enrollment in the coming years.
Tapal honors the National Cricket Team for the Blind

Several celebrities were invited to inaugurate and participate in the festivities, and a cheque of Rs. 4 lakhs was presented by Mrs. Faizullah Tapal to honor the Blind Cricket Team.
