In 2002 Parveen Saeed, a resident of Surjani Town, heard news of a woman who had murdered her two children because she w...as unable to feed them, and could not bear to watch them slowly starve to death. Parveen thought that surely there is enough food in Pakistan that no one need go hungry, so she started Khana Ghar, a small dhaba in Khuda Ki Basti in Karachi, where she provides a full meal (one roti and saalan) to any one who wants to eat for only 3 rupees.
Previously Parveen had been funding the Khana Ghar herself, and with whatever sporadic donations she could get.
