HOPE AND ROBIN HOOD ARMY PAKISTAN ON THE MISSION TO FEED THE HUNGRY


HOPE-A Health NGO in Pakistan has been unrelentingly feeding hundreds of destitute people in the holy month of Ramadan as part of its Ramadan campaign for the past 9 years. This year, with the help of Robin Hood Army Pakistan, HOPE was able to include variety of food items in the menu to serve thousands of people who are socially deprived.  RHA Pakistan who manages to provide food for the lesser fortunate is a group of volunteers who are working to get surplus food from restaurants and the community to feed the underserved.

During Ramadan, HOPE teams used to collect the food provided by RHA Pakistan twice a day, bring it to the impoverished areas in scorching heat and distribute among the underserved communities. The food was served to the needy individuals in Bhitaiabad, Rehri Goth, Sachal Goth, Ghaggar, Link Road, Gadap, Gharo, Dhabeji, Zia Colony, Bilal Colony, Qayyumabad, Manzoor Colony, Mujahid Colony, Shanti Nagar, Sher Pao Nagar, Patel Para, Thatta, Sujawal etc. HOPE which mainly works to ease the hardships of the less fortunate ones, focuses on the poor women and children while distributing food or other goodies. Women, children and patients or handicapped individuals are usually deprived of the opportunities as they cannot go out and access food distributors in the presence of a large crowd. As a result of this prospect provided by Robin Hood Army Pakistan, HOPE has reached out to even a larger number of downtrodden communities during this Ramadan. Under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla-A Child Specialist in Karachi HOPE gave them an opportunity to enjoy the sumptuous food that they could only dream of.







HOPE has received 8130 food packets along with water and juices during the holy month from Robin Hood Army Pakistan, a zero-funds organization. Acts like this only strengthen our will to keep on going.  Donations from individuals and organizations like Robin Hood Army Pakistan made it possible for us to help in our aim to alleviate miseries of the poor and needy in various slums of Karachi and rural areas of Sindh. It has helped our cause immensely to feed a large number of poor individuals during Ramadan. More than 500 people were served daily during Ramadan. HOPE-An NGO in Pakistan ensures that, each person who looks towards it will be given at least one meal a day. A lot of individuals and volunteer organizations like Robin Hood Army Pakistan have joined in our cause and continue to do so as the years pass.
