Although the winter season is welcomed by the well privileged and wealthy people through fancy clothing, hot food and festive moods, it brings a lot of agony and difficulties to the poor people of our country. Quite sadly, many poor people in our country cannot afford to buy blankets during winters. In this scenario, especially women and children suffer more. Keeping in view the drastic situation of the poor, HOPE - A Health NGO in Pakistan, came as a ray of light towards the people who are helpless.
HOPE has distributed
blankets to the people who have no source of help during this winter seasons.
HOPE distributed blankets in the areas of Kolarchi, Badin, Thatta, Ghaggar and
Sujawal. These areas are a lot colder during the winter seasons as compared to
other areas in Sindh. The houses in these area are not very warm as compared to
other urban cities like Karachi, where there are tall buildings to break down
the flow of cold breeze. These blankets will protect the people from the
piercing cold especially at night, it will help them get a peaceful and warm
sleep without any worry and there will definitely be some reduction in the number
of deaths due to the cold.
During the monsoon and freezing nights, HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan, found many poor people living on the roads who were helpless. There are millions of underprivileged who cannot afford even a blanket and die due to the intense cold without a roof or cloth on their bare bodies.
By the distribution of
blankets this is a good gesture of helping out the community. Through the
provision of blankets to the ones in need, it can make a great difference to an
individual or a family, especially those who are homeless.
The temperature dropped
further as many cities experienced more winter rain, but under the leadership
of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A
Child Specialist in Karachi, the team distributed blankets to the needy
people in slum and rural areas of Sindh as mentioned above. There cannot be a
bigger satisfaction by helping someone when they are the most in need.
