HOPE DISTRIBUTES COOKED FOOD AMONG THE NEEDY PEOPLE

 

Charity is a powerful expression of compassion, and feeding the poor is one of its most meaningful forms. When we share food with those in need, we are not just filling empty stomachs, we are restoring dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging. A simple meal can ease suffering, strengthen communities, and remind people that they are not forgotten. Through acts of kindness like feeding the hungry, we create a more caring and just world for everyone.

HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan, distributed biryani among the underprivileged residents living in rural areas near its MCH Center, which served as the main distribution point for the underprivileged community. Children and patients were seated in long, organized rows before receiving their biryani packets. Their joy and excitement grew as the food was served. The event was carefully planned and well managed to ensure that everyone received a sufficient and fair share.

Every year, HOPE receives an increasing number of volunteers and donations, especially during the holy month of Ramzan when people give generously. This support enables HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan, to continue carrying out its activities in the years ahead. Under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A Child Specialist in Karachi, HOPE is working toward major achievements by aiming to eliminate illiteracy, poverty, and hunger in the near future.

HOPE DISTRIBUTES COOKED MEALS AMONG THE PRISONERS AT CENTRAL JAIL KARACHI.

 

Behind the tall walls, rusted gates of Karachi’s Central Jail exisits a world many are unaware about; a world where negligence, hunger and inequality is common among prisoners there. While the concept of imprisonment is tied to justice; But the reality is different for the poorest prisoners, those who cannot afford bribes, extra food, or legal help — is one of hunger, suffering, and indignity.

Officially, prisoners are guaranteed basic necessities, including meals. But in reality most prisoners report that the food provided is insufficient, low in nutrition, or simply unavailable unless supplemented by funds from home. In Pakistan’s overcrowded prisons, including those in Karachi, the budget often fails to cover even the bare minimum of dietary needs. This forces the prisoners family members to bring additional food from home. 

For poor prisoners, this is  cruelty, no money or source means no extra food. They must either go hungry or rely on the charity of others. Many report meals given in through prison is composed of watery daal and dry bread, lacking protein and essential nutrients. Some prisoners are left weak and sick, malnourished from repeated inadequate meals.

This is where HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan came forward and provided cooked meals to these prisoners and less fortunate captives.  The team members of HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan served delicious biryani to the prisoners. Through this act those prisoners benefited who were neglected or had no means to source food from outside. The prisoners expressed their gratitude and delight for such a tasty meal, with their genuine happiness shining in their eyes. Around 200 biryani packets were distributed on regular basis.

Under the guidance of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, HOPE strives to eradicate poverty, illiteracy, and hunger entirely. HOPE invites both individuals and organizations to contribute to its mission of attaining its goals.

HOPE’s ROLE IN PROVIDING HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

 

The main focus of HOPE is on provision of health care in remote areas of Pakistan where there are very few health facilities available and are generally inaccessible. As a result, these areas have a high maternal and child mortality rate. HOPE - A health NGO in Pakistan strives to improve these parameters both in rural and urban slums especially for the underprivileged mothers and children by setting up health facilities.

In Karachi, HOPE has established secondary care hospitals that have been set up in Korangi and Gurumandir. While its two other hospitals are located at Thatta and Sujawal. 

Recently HOPE has established 3 new Maternal and Child Health Care Centers. One of which is located at Basti Shakirwali Mozah Jesalwain, Jhang Road, Muzaffargarh, Punjab.

Hence after the establishment and successful running of the Maternal and Child Health Care Centers located in Karachi (Manzoor Colony, Mujahid Colony, Bilal Colony, Qayyumabad and 100 Quarter Korangi). And to cater the existing health issues of the needy. HOPE expanded its MCH operations from Karachi towards Punjab and KPK. Since the medical infrastructure and the healthcare facilities’ in Azad Jammu and Kashmir are insufficient as compared to the ratio of its population.

HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan is operating two Mobile Health Units (MHU), in partnership with Asia Petroleum Limited (APL). These MHU serve 20 plus villages, which are located in the slum areas of Karachi, Pipri up to the villages in Hub Baluchistan, where no one caters towards the medical issues of the population living in these areas. These MHC these facilities include appropriate medical care, consultation and provision of medications free of cost.
