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.

DR. MUBINA AGBOATWALLA’S CONTRIBUTION TO HEALTHCARE PROVISION

The primary aim of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla is to deliver health care facilities throughout distant regions of Pakistan, where health facilities are scarce and difficult to reach. Consequently, these areas experience elevated rates of maternal and child mortality. HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan, works to enhance these indicators in both rural settings and urban slums, particularly for deprived mothers and children, by establishing health care services.

In Karachi, Dr. Mubina 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. 

Three new Maternal and Child Health Care Centers were recently opened by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla. One of them can be found at Jhang Road, Basti Shakirwali Mozah Jesalwain, Muzaffargarh, Punjab. One is situated in Baidrah, Mansehra, KPK, and the other two are in Murad Abad, Kashmir. Thus, following the creation and effective operation of the Maternal and Child Health Care Centers in Karachi (Manzoor Colony, Mujahid Colony, Bilal Colony, Qayyumabad, and 100 Quarter Korangi, to address the health issues of the needy. Dr. Mubina extended the MCH activities from Karachi to KPK and Punjab. Azad Jammu and Kashmir's healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure are inadequate in relation to its population.

Dr. Mubina is operating two Mobile Health Units (MHU) through HOPE, in collaboration with Asia Petroleum Limited (APL). These MHUs serve more than twenty communities, ranging from the impoverished neighborhoods of Karachi and Pipri to the villages in Hub, Baluchistan, where no one provides medical care to the locals. These Mobile Health Units give free prescription drugs, consultations, and proper medical treatment.

These MCH centers and Hospitals have delivery rooms, C-section machines, oxygen, nebulizers, medications, and ultrasonic machines. An LHV, a doctor, a dispenser, and a cleaner make up this MCH Center's crew. Flu, cold, cough, skin issues, diarrhea, pregnancy, and gynecological complaints are the most common medical issues encountered here. This is why Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, is keen to establish additional Maternal and Child Health Care Centers across Pakistan. These centers aim to deliver essential health care services to underserved communities, offering treatment at little to no cost. Every month, thousands of patients benefit from the services provided by these hospitals and MCH centers.
