Interfaith League Against Poverty (I-LAP)
Interfaith League Against Poverty (I-LAP), established in 2004 and registered under the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Ordinance of 1961, is a non-profit organization headquartered in Islamabad with an international chapter in Louisville, Kentucky, USA (I-LAP-US), connecting believers across borders.
I-LAP-PAK operates across forty districts in Pakistan's four provinces, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Baluchistan.
A non-partisan citizen initiative, I-LAP empowers marginalized communities regardless of faith, caste, or creed—strengthening them economically while highlighting the importance of peace, religious tolerance, and mutual respect among all faiths for peaceful coexistence in daily life.
