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.
