People living in poverty are preoccupied with meeting their basic needs – often to the detriment of other priorities. These are people who work labour-intensive and menial jobs to eke out a living for them and their loved ones.
About this program
We provide vital food relief to those facing hunger, and warm clothing/blankets in camps, to giving the most vulnerable a chance to focus on their well-being and build a better future.
Our team on the ground identifies vulnerable communities that are in need of help, which is provided in the form of hot meals, food baskets or blankets in the winter months.

Our Social Assistance Program is a safety net for many needy families in Karachi caught in a particular situation of hardship.
This program provides sustainable, immediate relief, such as emergency financial aid to cover essential costs like groceries, medical, rent, or utility bills during times of sudden job loss or illness, or help with vehicle repair costs for someone using it to earn their livelihood.
Your contribution doesn’t just provide supports for basic needs; it provides the stability a family needs to stand on their own feet again.
Every donation you make goes to programs on the ground, and directly benefits communities in need. Learn More>>
