Jafriya Disaster Management Cell Welfare Organization (JDC), commonly known as JDC Foundation Pakistan, is a welfare and non-governmental organization (NGO) mainly operating in Pakistan.[1][2] It was established in 2009 by Syed Zafar Abbas Jafri and some like-minded youths in Karachi. Sibt-e-Jaafar Zaidi was also one of its founding members, he stayed an active member of JDC until his assassination in March of 2013.[3] JDC welcomes volunteers from all walks of life and it prides itself on not discriminating against members based on their beliefs, political or social backgrounds.[4] Rehabilitation activities and medical emergency services provided by JDC mainly cover the Sindh province. Currently, the organization has expanded its activities all across Pakistan with its policy that where there is a victim of any disaster he/she should be helped simply on humanitarian basis without discrimination on the basis of race, religion or sect.

It operates an ambulance set-up all over Pakistan and helps in emergencies and efforts after disasters.[5] In a year, besides its volunteers, departmental heads[6][7] and president, at least two JDC-Ambulance drivers[8][9][10] have lost their lives in targeted killing. In 2014 JDC provided medical aid by organizing a medical camp in collaboration with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society[11]
