As many as 45 changemakers across 13 categories were given away awards during the fourth edition of K-Electric's "KHI Awards 2025" at a ceremony on Friday. The KHI Awards is an endeavour to honour organisations that drive meaningful social change in the metropolitan city.
The total grant allocation for this year's winners also saw an impressive 50% increase year-on-year achieved after the KE board and senior leadership's support, which will be disbursed in the form of electricity rebates.
A total of 166 entries were received this year, of which 41 were first-time applicants. After an audited process, 129 applicants qualified to present their projects in front of an independent jury. The initiative honours institutional philanthropy embodying the theme 'Khidmat Ka Jazba Rahe Roshan Sada.'
The awards were given away in different categories, including public health, education, sustainability, safety, livelihoods and vocational training, digital accessibility and inclusion, community development, and heritage and culture.
"At K-Electric we are proud of the KHI Awards and establishing it as a platform at an institutional level that not only celebrates impact but also brings together changemakers who share a vision for a better Karachi," KE CEO Moonis Alvi said while speaking at the ceremony.
"It brings me great joy to share that Alhamdullilah, with the support of the KE's Board, we have also enhanced the reward amount to Rs60 million. This reflects our unwavering belief in the power of community-driven impact," he added.
Several leading organisations were recognised for their commitment to uplifting Karachi and its communities. Among them, KDSP, KVTC, Saylani, Kharadar General Hospital, and GIA stood out, each securing two awards for their contributions in several domains. Reputed institutions such as HANDS, Indus Hospital, LRBT, and Bait-ul-Sukoon also emerged as winners.
