Clean drinking water is an essential need of life and all other human rights. Water as a human right is as much about the quality as it is about access. However, there are many areas in Pakistan where clean drinking water in inaccessible

The United Nations considers universal access to clean water a basic human right, and an essential step towards improving living standards worldwide. Water-poor communities are typically economically poor as well, their residents trapped in an ongoing cycle of poverty. Keeping this in mind, HOPE a Health NGO in Pakistan in collaboration with Procter & Gamble is making clean water accessible by distributing P&G Purifier of Water sachets to the door steps of poor families.

Access to tap water is very low in the areas of Dadu and quality of drinking water remains substandard as the major sources are hand pumps and turbines supplying contaminated or brackish water to local populations.

HOPE - an NGO in Pakistan, has assigned a team specifically for this project who visit different slum areas. Recently HOPE Team visited Dadu, where they distributed water purifying kits and sachets along with the demonstration on how to use it correctly.  Each family is provided a purifying kit that consists of: Cooler, Bucket, Muslin Cloth, Spatula, 120 sachets.

Under the leadership of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla – A child specialist in Karachi, Hope strives its best to provide clean and hygienic drinking water to the areas, where clean and fresh water is not accessible.  The team has been working relentlessly to improve the lives of the people by creating awareness among them, about the benefits of safe drinking water.

The aim is to benefit the community while making clean water accessible for all, hence, reducing the morbidities especially among children. In addition, this will also provide opportunity to improve standards of living while improving health status.

The Story of Ahmed and his ambition to become a Software Engineer.

 Ahmed Abdullah; is the son of a poor farmer. His father has to work very hard in order to provide 2 meals a day for the family.

Ahmed wants to work hard and study with full dedication so that he can work in the city and improve the conditions of his family. Ahmed has a will to study computer and become a software engineer, but there were no computer training institutes anywhere in his area or the villages nearby. One day Ahmed received the news about HOPE Computer Center, which was established in the same school where he was studying and they were teaching computer course free of cost. He was very happy to hear about this news and his prayers were finally heard.   

HOPE an NGO in Pakistan along with the collaboration with P&G came as a savior not just to Ahmed, but to many under privileged young boys and girls like him, who have dreams and ambitions as he does. Also the personal desire of Ahmed’s father for him to study and progress in life has come true. Now along with my academic classes he is also studying computer classes. Ahmend is very thankful to HOPE - An Educational NGO in Pakistan for their unyielding support. Ahmed claims he will make every effort possible to achieve his dream and become a software engineer on day.

 The Microsoft office course at HOPE Computer Center consist of 4-month duration, and currently his 2^nd month is in progress, after completing the 4 months course, he will hopefully possess the basic knowledge about computers and MS office and will be able to work on Ms Office.  

HOPE along with P&G has established computer centers in several rural areas under the Leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A Child Specialist In Karachi. With time the organization is continuing to open up more and more computer centers in areas, where people have no idea what a computer is and the significance of what benefits a computer can provide to an individual whether it is communication, education or getting a job.

 

 

HOPE’S QURBANI ACTIVITY 2020

The aim of sacrifice, like all other fundamentals of Islam, is to imbibe piety and self righteousness. It also promotes the spirit of sacrifice for a right cause. HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan is striving hard to reach out to the poor and less fortunate this Eid.

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Eid al-Adha than the sacrificing of animals. Sacrifice, as practiced by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is an essential religious ritual of the Muslims – replicating and commemorating the sacrifice performed by Prophet Ibraham in its truest spirit and essence. God put Prophet Ibrahim to a most difficult trial, the details of which are described in the Quran.

Qurbani meat is divided into three parts; one for the family, the other for the neighbor and the third portion for the poor. And so Muslims fulfill their obligation and distribute some meat of goats, cows, sheep and camels to the underprivileged.

HOPE- a Health NGO in Pakistan, was actively involved in the distribution of sacrificed animals among the deserving families this Eid-ul-Azha. HOPE carried out its annual Qurbani on all three days of Eid and sacrificed a total of 15 Cows, whilst 22 Goats were sacrificed and meat was distributed among the poor benefitting approximately 1350 plus families and 10,800 individuals.

HOPE under the supervision of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- a child specialist in Karachi, distributed meat in every nook and corner, so that no one is left hungry and unhappy this Eid. Areas included: Rehri Goth, Bhens Colony, Ghaggar, Link Road, Gadap, Mujahid Colony, Bhittaiabad, Sachal, Bilal Colony, Zia Colony, Kachra Kundi , Gurumandir, Thatta , Sajawal, Badin,  Muzaffarabad and Muzaffargarh.

HOPE USA chapter, HOPE UK and many individual donors contributed for the share in cows and for goats.

With the spirit of Charity, HOPE was able to put a smile to those underserved population who otherwise starve themselves to sleep every night. HOPE has always been a forerunner in carrying out those activities which benefit humanity in any way possible.
