About Dispensary

Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, stands as a lifeline of hope and healing in one of the most underserved and neglected regions on the outskirts of Lahore. Located within a brick kiln community—where families endure extreme working conditions, poverty, and limited access to basic healthcare—the dispensary exists to bridge a critical gap: access to free, compassionate, and quality medical care.

This initiative, established under the vision of FGD Ministries, was born out of a deep burden to serve those who are often forgotten. Brick kiln workers and their families face severe health risks due to constant exposure to heat, smoke, and toxic pollutants. Despite these challenges, access to even basic treatment in such areas remains scarce.

Serosh Dispensary operates as a free healthcare center, providing consultations, essential medicines, and primary medical services to surrounding villages and kiln communities. From treating common illnesses to addressing more serious conditions, the dispensary serves as the first point of care for many who would otherwise go untreated.

More than just an initiative, the dispensary represents the fulfillment of the Church’s vision in action. Here, the Church becomes the provider, the caregiver, and a living presence within the community. It stands as a powerful testament to God’s love, hope, peace, and divine providence—empowering lives and restoring dignity where it is needed most.

Beyond medical care, the dispensary is a place of restoration and transformation. Health education, preventive care, and community engagement are integral parts of its mission, ensuring that impact is not temporary, but lasting.

Serving not just one village but a wider network of rural communities around Jhandyala, the dispensary continues to expand its reach despite financial limitations and rising operational challenges.

Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, is not just about medicine—it is about mission. It is where healthcare meets humanity, and where service becomes a living expression of faith in action.

Our Vision

Our vision for Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, is to establish a sustainable model of compassionate, faith-driven healthcare that reaches the most vulnerable and underserved communities. We envision a future where no individual is denied medical care due to poverty, distance, or social neglect—especially among brick kiln workers and their families.

At the heart of this vision is the Church, not only as a place of worship, but as a living force of transformation within society. We believe the Church is called to be the provider, the caregiver, and a beacon of hope—demonstrating God’s love through tangible action. Through this dispensary, the Church stands as a testimony of God’s love, peace, hope, and divine provision, bringing both physical healing and spiritual restoration to communities in need.

Our vision extends beyond treatment. We aim to cultivate healthier communities through awareness, preventive care, and consistent medical support, while restoring dignity and empowering individuals to live stronger, healthier lives. We seek to raise a generation that experiences not only healing in their bodies but transformation in their outlook, identity, and future.

Ultimately, Serosh Dispensary is a step toward a greater vision—to see communities transformed, lives restored, and the love of God revealed in practical, undeniable ways. It is a vision where faith and service unite to bring lasting impact, one life at a time.

Dispensary History

The history of Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, is deeply rooted in a vision that began in 2017 with the establishment of a Church in the heart of the kiln community. From the very beginning, the Church was not only planted as a place of worship, but as a center of transformation—carrying a burden to respond to the real and pressing needs of the people it served.

As relationships were built within the community, a recurring reality became clear: families living and working in the brick kilns were facing severe health challenges with little to no access to proper medical care. The harsh environment, long working hours, and financial limitations left entire communities vulnerable and underserved. In response, a vision was born—to establish a dispensary that would serve as a source of relief, healing, and hope.

For years, this vision remained constant. Despite financial limitations and logistical challenges, the desire to bring accessible healthcare to Jhandyala and its surrounding villages never faded. It continued to grow stronger, fueled by faith, compassion, and a commitment to serve those in need.

That vision eventually took form through the establishment of Serosh Dispensary in Jhandyala Village Kiln. What began as a burden on the heart became a tangible reality—a place where individuals and families could receive free medical care, essential medicines, and compassionate support.

Today, the dispensary stands as a fulfillment of that long-held vision. It serves not only the immediate kiln community but extends its reach to approximately 80 surrounding villages, becoming a vital source of healthcare for thousands of people who would otherwise remain without access to treatment.

Serosh Dispensary is more than a facility—it is the continuation of a journey that began with the Church in 2017. It reflects years of perseverance, faith, and unwavering commitment to serve. From vision to reality, it stands today as a testimony of what can be accomplished when purpose is sustained and acted upon.

The story of Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, is still being written—one life, one family, and one community at a time.

“More than medicine, it is a mission—where faith meets need, and God’s love transforms lives one community at a time.”

“When Hope Arrived on Wheels”

There was a day when the Serosh Dispensary did not stand where it stands today—it arrived. Carried on a simple trailer, moving across distance and difficulty, it made its way into Jhandyala Village Kiln—not just as a structure, but as a promise fulfilled.

As it entered the community, it carried more than medicine. It carried hope for the sick, relief for the weary, and healing for the forgotten. What rolled in on that trailer was not just a dispensary—it was a turning point. A moment where years of waiting met the reality of care.

Every wheel that turned brought with it a message: that no place is too far, no need too small, and no life overlooked. It stood as a living symbol that provision does not always come easily—but it comes faithfully.

More than outreach, more than healthcare, this moment became a testimony—that God provides through His people, for His people. That in places where resources fall short, grace steps in. That even in the most unlikely settings, hope finds a way to arrive.

“Against All Odds: The Beginning of Hope”

On 25 October 2025, after seven continuous years of perseverance, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment, the Serosh Dispensary Jhandyala Village Kiln was officially opened—turning years of vision into reality.

This was not just an opening, but the culmination of a long, difficult journey marked by limited resources, financial hardship, and relentless effort to reach forgotten communities. Every step taken over those seven years led to this moment—where care finally arrived at the doorstep of those who needed it most.

The opening camp stood as a powerful reminder:
when compassion refuses to give up, even the longest struggles give birth to hope.

Daily Operations – Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln

The daily operations of Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, reflect both the strength of its mission and the weight of its limitations. Despite operating with constrained resources, the dispensary remains a consistent source of care for those who have nowhere else to turn.

On average, the dispensary serves 5 patients daily—a number that may seem small, but represents 150 individuals receiving essential primary healthcare every month. Each patient treated is a life reached, a need answered, and a gap filled in a community where access to medical care is scarce.

However, this number is not a reflection of the need—it is a reflection of limitation. The demand is far greater than what current resources can sustain. Shortages in medicine, limited staff availability, and transportation challenges directly impact the number of patients that can be seen each day.

With proper support—through consistent funding, adequate medical supplies, and dedicated personnel—the dispensary holds the capacity to expand significantly. The same facility has the potential to serve 80 to 100 patients daily, which would translate to approximately 2,400 to 3,000 individuals receiving care every month.

This is not just a projection—it is the untapped reality of what could be achieved.

From 5 patients a day to 100 patients a day, the difference is not in need, but in support. Strengthening the dispensary means multiplying its impact—turning limited reach into widespread healing, and ensuring that care is available not just to a few, but to all who need it.

Needs & Challenges – Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln

Serosh Dispensary, Jhandyala Village Kiln, continues to serve as a critical healthcare lifeline for underserved kiln and rural communities. However, sustaining and expanding this mission comes with significant challenges that directly impact its daily operations and long-term effectiveness.

1. Limited Access to Medicines

One of the most pressing needs is the consistent availability of essential medicines. With rising costs and increasing patient volume from approximately 80 surrounding villages, maintaining an adequate and uninterrupted supply of medicines has become increasingly difficult. Shortages directly affect the quality and continuity of care provided to patients.

2. Staff Salaries & Human Resource Constraints

The dispensary faces ongoing challenges in providing stable salaries for medical and support staff. Dedicated healthcare workers are essential for consistent service delivery, yet financial limitations make it difficult to retain and recruit qualified personnel. The absence of financial stability restricts the ability to build a sustainable and committed team.

3. Transportation Barriers

Located approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) away from Serosh Medical Center, the dispensary presents a significant logistical challenge. Daily travel to and from the site is both physically demanding and financially burdensome. The cost of transportation, combined with time constraints, makes regular operations difficult to sustain.

4. Lack of Dedicated On-Site Personnel

Due to the distance and limited financial resources, hiring a dedicated team member willing to travel consistently or remain stationed at the dispensary has proven to be a major challenge. Without stable funding, offering competitive compensation or travel support is not currently feasible, further complicating staffing needs.

5. Financial Instability

At the core of many of these challenges lies the issue of financial sustainability. The dispensary operates in a context where resources are limited, and funding is not yet stable or predictable. This affects every aspect of the project—from medicines and salaries to transportation and future expansion.

6. Operational & Expansion Constraints

Beyond immediate needs, the dispensary also faces limitations in scaling its services. Expanding outreach, increasing patient capacity, introducing specialized care, or improving infrastructure all require resources that are currently beyond reach.

Despite these challenges, the mission of Serosh Dispensary remains steadfast. Every limitation highlights a deeper need—but also a greater opportunity to strengthen, sustain, and expand this vital work. Addressing these core issues is essential not only for maintaining current operations but for ensuring that the dispensary can continue to reach those who depend on it the most.
