DAILY FOOD DISTRIBUTION-AN IMPORTANT PART OF HOPE RAMADAN ACTIVITIES

There is more than enough food in the world, but some overeat while others go hungry. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is reported to have said, “He is not a Muslim who goes to bed gratified while his next-door neighbor goes hungry”.  Inviting people to share iftar, sending food to neighbours and reaching out to new Muslims and people from out-of-town that might otherwise be eating alone in Ramadan, increase reward in the Hereafter. HOPE-An NGO in Pakistan extends this spirit of Ramadan by distributing food everyday till Eid. Variety of foods are included in the menu to serve thousands of people who are socially deprived. These are the individuals who belong to the hard working labor class who cannot afford to have enough food to curb their hunger. Often, many of us take for granted what others consider luxury. This privilege we have, to take our blessings for granted, comes with great responsibility to reach out to the less privileged. Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla-A Child Specialist in Karachi, Chairperson HOPE, personally takes interest in reaching out to maximum number of downtrodden communities, making sure nobody stays hungry during this holy month.  She gives them an opportunity to enjoy the sumptuous food that they could ever wish for.

HOPE-An Educational NGO in Pakistan knows it is a privilege to have luxurious food where thousands of people in the city are malnourished. In the scorching heat, HOPE team brings food boxes, biryani, qorma roti, juice etc with them every day to serve the underprivileged population in poor slums and rural areas of Pakistan where HOPE has been working to eradicate poverty. HOPE distributes these food items in Bhattaiabad, Rehri Goth, Sachal Goth, Ghaggar, Pipri, Link Road, Gaddap, Gharo, Dhabeji, Abdullah Shah Gazi Goth, Zia Colony,Bilal Colony, Qayyumabad, Manzoor Colony, Mujahid Colony etc. HOPE has been serving 560 individuals on daily basis, which makes a grand total of 17360 people being served this Ramadan. The happiness that appeared on their faces after getting food is everything HOPE wants to see.
