Stephen R. Lewis, in his book “Pakistan’s Industrial and Trade Policies” says: “It is admirable that the entrepreneurial skills of Memon community made up Pakistan’s economy in the early years. Muslim community who had migrated to Pakistan from India beat the fiscal odds and prominent among them were Memons.”

The Pakistan Chapter of the World Memon Organization is considered as the most active chapter. It has various schemes to provide housing to the shelter-less, financial assistance to needy school-going children, scholarships for higher education, micro finance loans to very small businesses, etc. It also has a very active Ladies Wing and Youth Wing.

The Memon Industrial & Technical Institute (MITI), a project of WMO, is a non-profit institute providing quality technical & vocational training to students from all segments of the society, especially the less-fortunate and poor students, in order to enable them to earn a decent livelihood. Since its inception in May 2009, the Memon Industrial & Technical Institute has trained over 50,000 male and female students.  The mission of World Memon Organization Pakistan Chapter is “EDUCATION FOR ALL”
