HOPE’s Support a Marriage Campaign


“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”  Mahatma Gandhi


Pakistan is a country where the disparity level between the lower middle class and the middle class is very high. Also, the population living below the poverty line is increasing day by day. We at HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan, have been working towards a variety of causes one of which is helping families living in squalor.
Recently, HOPE team went to a place called Bhains Colony (Cattle Colony) where they gave in-kind donation to a girl called Shehzadi. Shehzadi is a pretty girl of a lower middle class family. Her mother and father work hard for a living to sustain a family of eight individuals. Shehzadi is getting married soon and being the eldest she was worried whether her parents will be able to bear the burden of her wedding expenses. HOPE managed to buy some essential items for Shehzadi’s wedding which is due this week. Shehzadi’s parents were over the moon when they saw HOPE’s team bringing gifts for Shehzadi which would lessen their burden. Shehzadi’s parents thanked HOPE’s staff for being there with them at this hour of need.
Dr. MubinaAgboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi has been helping the needy for the past 18 years through HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan. HOPE an educational NGO inPakistan, is operating schools and hospitals all over Pakistan providing free of cost education and health facilities to the less fortunate of our country. She is of the opinion that each and every organization, companies, individual who have the capacity, whether monetary or in-kind, should come forward to help the undeserved. It is the civil society which has a huge role in bringing prosperity to this country and we at HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan are striving hard to bring about a positive change towards achieving a better Pakistan.
