DISTRIBUTION OF GIFTS TO BABIES-SPONSORED BY HOPE

HOPE- a charity in Pakistan, works for the betterment of the society and extends their services in the field of health and education especially to those down trodden and underprivileged women and children.

The team of HOPE Pakistan is a staunch believer in providing medical assistance to all those little angels who need special attention. HOPE also supports and sponsors all those hospitals that are in the industry of providing health care facilities. One such example is of Sindh Government Hospital.

A baby show was organized by the Sindh Government Hospital where, after gathering a few of the baby patients in the hospital, their weight and height was measured and those babies who came up to the required level were given gifts by HOPE. This motivated and encouraged the parents to take care of their children on a regular basis so as to raise healthy and strong infants.

Chairperson Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- a child specialist in Karachi, distributed gifts to the parents of the patients which brought cheerful smiles on their faces. Such gift schemes are undertaken periodically by HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan to enliven their mundane lives. These needy people long for care, love and affection that helps them combat their illness and various other problems.

Gifts bring pleasure to the receiver and especially parents from underserved areas were over joyed to receive the toys for their infants at Sindh Government hospital, because such babies are usually deprived of toys and clothes as the low income of the bread-winner of the family barely suffices basic needs.

Both mothers and children suffer from innumerable diseases and infections, due to lack of proper health services. HOPE having opened numerous hospitals reaffirms, that humanity still exists and that the NGO strives to bring happiness on those innocent deprived faces.

Maternal and Child Health Centers as well as hospitals. The HOPE network extends from Karachi
in the South to Thatta, Dadu and the mountains of Kashmir. Apart from Pakistan, HOPE is also

Recently, HOPE-a charity in Pakistan participated in a social development expo held
by the students of NED university of Engineering and Technology, as a part of their final project
for the course of “Theory and management of organization work”. The objective of this project

part of their assignment.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla facilitates and solicits all such projects which can be a learning

HOPE Ensures an Enlightening Future for Abandoned Ones.

HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan envisions a well educated and healthy society in which women and children have equal rights. Hence, HOPE, with help of its supporters and under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – a child specialist in Karachi, is always striving to make life better for the less fortunate ones by giving them access to quality education, quality healthcare and other necessities of life.

HOPE – a charity in Pakistan has a wide network of schools, vocational centers and hospitals across Pakistan. Besides providing free education and healthcare to the underprivileged, HOPE also cares about the ones who are left alone in this world. Many times, babies who are born in HOPE Hospitals are abandoned due to the death of mother or other personal reasons.

Recently, a beautiful baby girl was delivered in HOPE Hospital, Zia Colony unfortunate found abandoned. Hence, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – chairperson of HOPE, decided to keep the baby for adoption so that she may have a better future with the parents who can provide her all the necessities of life.

Soon after the baby was abandoned, she was adopted by a kind-hearted family from UAE. After all the legal procedures of adoption were done, the baby was handed-over to the family.

It is extremely gratifying to see that such people still exist in the world who care about those who are abandoned. It is them who make this world a better place and it is their support that HOPE is able to do so much for the people in need.

HOPE’s Qurbani Activity - 2017

Eid-ul-Adha gives us a massage that nothing should be dearer to us than Allah and this why we choose the best animal for qurbani according to our own capacity to gain Allah’s pleasure. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Whoever made a sacrifice with all sincerity, the act of sacrifice will protect him from hell-fire".

There is also a recognized right, for the needy and deprived over our wealth and sacrificed meat and remembering the less privileged ones during your happy moments and important occasions is a very kind and beautiful act in front of Allah.

Hence, HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan, never forget the poor and needy on any event and occasion; giving meat to the destitute as required while doing Qurbani spreads happiness and love. It enables them to enjoy the important occasion of Eid-ul-Adha as a time of celebration and festivities.

HOPE – a Health NGO in Pakistan, distributed qurbani meat in the far flung areas of Karachi; Gadap, Ghaggar, Rairhi Goth, Bhens Colony, Bilal Colony, Mujahid Colony, Sachal Goth and Bhattiyabad as well as in Thatta, Badin, Muzaffargarh and Muzaffarbad (AJK). Total 17 goats and 17 cows were sacrificed in all of the areas that are mentioned; 5 cows and 2 goats in Thatta, 9 cows and 13 goats in Karachi, 2 cows in Badin, 1 cow in Muzaffargarh, 2 goats in Muzaffarabad and the meat was distributed in the poor and deserving residents of these areas by team HOPE.

This entire Qurbani activity was carried out under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – a child specialist in Karachi and with the support of donors who believe in HOPE. Various individual donors contributed for the share in cows and for goats. Human Concern International (HCI) Canada also contributed for 3 whole cows for the Qurbani.

The recognition of HOPE’s Work in the book “When Tribesmen Came Calling; Building an Enduring American Business in Pakistan”

It is a great pleasure to see people appreciating and admiring the charitable work one is doing. The appreciation not only motivates the doer but also reinforces the spirit of philanthropy among them. HOPE is one of the well-known NGOs in Pakistan that is working for the betterment of the poor and is often applauded for its exceptional work in healthcare and education sector.

Recently, a Pakistani American who, in 2011, concluded a career of nearly 30 years with Procter & Gamble, a major American multinational consumer products company, wrote a book  “When Tribesmen Came Calling; Building an Enduring American Business in Pakistan”. In his book, he narrates his experiences about successfully building American businesses in the emerging markets; sharing many learnings about how business success was achieved in the difficult markets and exploring the interplay among business, economics, culture and politics.

In the book, he has also applauded the work of HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan and shared his experiences in an engaging and informative way – as only an eyewitness can

He precisely exemplifies the work of HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan, so remarkably that the reader will  have a clear idea about how HOPE works. He, in the book, says, “Dr. Mubina, as she is called, manages to devote time to running an organization that has set up more than 300 informal schools, each serving 35 to 40 children and run out someone’s home in a low-income neighbourhood. HOPE identifies homes with the space for a classroom, sometimes in a courtyard in a open sky, and a woman with a high school diploma who is interested in teaching young children. such schools have had particularly positive impact on the girls’ access to education, since parents of the girls are much more likely to send their daughters to a school in their own neighbourhood, run by someone they know (before we judge parents for their reluctance to send girls to school, we need to understand the security threats that girls face walking down the street by themselves in many neighbourhoods in Pakistani cities – in fact, in many cities worldwide.)

He further praises the work of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla  - a child specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE. He writes, “Dr Mubina is one of the most dedicated and modest individuals I have worked with. Through her dedication she has managed to convinced P&G, and several other major multinational companies to sponsor a total of 300 schools across Pakistan. It costs only $500 to educate 35-40 year for a whole year, less than 2 dollars per child per month.”

He also acknowledges the work HOPE is doing in the field of health with the following words:

“In addition to running schools, HOPE has also set up clinics and small hospitals focused on women’s health and maternity services in low-income areas of Karachi and other cities in Sindh Province. I visited several of these places with Dr Mubina and always came back inspired.”

Dr Mubina Agboatwalla and her team really feel honored to be mentioned and praised in the book written by S. Qaiser Shareef. It is really kind of him to remember HOPE while speaking of good experiences in the social sector.

HOPE celebrates Pakistan’s 70th Birthday

Pakistan celebrated its 70 years of existence and independence on 14^th August, 2017. This is the date that reminds us of all the sacrifices of individuals who gave up their lives for a separate identity and homeland for Muslims of India. The day is celebrated with great enthusiasm and zeal each year and children are always a major part of the celebrations. Their excitement and patriotism is easily seen on their faces and by their actions. They are the most excited among all, for this day, as they are usually seen wearing new white and green clothes and badges on this occasion and take part in the decoration of their homes and schools with Pakistani flags and green buntings etc.

Hence, HOPE – an educational NGO in Pakistan, always give a chance to those underprivileged children studying at HOPE Formal and Informal Schools to celebrate this day with great fervor. The children are encouraged to take part in singing national songs and perform whatever they like. 

This year the function for Independence Day was held in the schools of Bilal Colony, Bhattaiyabad and Sachal Goth. Goody bags and sweets were distributed among the children that made them really happy and they really enjoyed their day.

Apart from that, Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi and the visionary behind HOPE, herself celebrated the day with her patients at Sindh Government Hospital. She distributed food boxes and goody bags among the children to make the day memorable for them.

HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan aims to spread more happiness among children of these underprivileged areas under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- child specialist in Karachi and wants to instill the importance of this day in the children.
