Summary: 

This Ramadan we are on a mission to bring smiles to children living in dire conditions of poverty throughout Pakistan.  Our field team will be undertaking efforts to distribute new Eid Clothes to children living in remote villages and urban slum neighborhoods throughout the country.  For the vast majority of these children, this is the only time of year they receive new clothes, and on the occasion of Eid ul Fitr, it especially helps them to feel included and special.  Our poverty alleviation model incorporates many aspects of mental and emotional development for children and we go the extra mile to help them break free from the mental shackles that living in poverty can have upon their young minds. 

For just $17/Child, you may take part in this Zakat-eligible effort.  Any contributions are welcome and will go towards the purchase and distribution of Eid Clothes for vulnerable children living in poverty.  

Much gratitude from our entire team for helping make Ramadan 2025 brighter for all.  

 

This Ramadan, Run Towards Your Banquet of Blessings

With Warm Wishes from, 

The Entire HOPE Team

HOPE USA Summary: 

HOPE Charities USA is a volunteer-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization working to better the socioeconomic forefront of impoverished citizens in Pakistan.  Estimates of poverty in Pakistan range anywhere from 25 percent to almost 40 percent. Health indicators suggest that it is the lack of accessible healthcare — not terrorism, drones or the energy crisis — that is the greatest adversity facing Pakistan.   Additionally, in a country where 60 percent of youth are illiterate and only 1 in 3 women can read and write, education becomes a scarce commodity which inhibits freedom from poverty.  HOPE USA’s mission is to end poverty in Pakistan through a calculated, multi-pronged interventional approach which focuses on Healthcare, Education, Vocational Training, Clean Water, and Disaster Relief. 

Currently, HOPE has a countrywide presence throughout Pakistan which includes 4 Hospitals, 3 Formal Schools, 200 Informal Schools, 6 Vocational Centers, 1 Basic Health Clinic, 2 Mobile Health units, and 6 Maternal and Child Health Clinics. Altogether we have grown to a network of hospitals and schools that treats over 750,000 patients per year, educates 12,000 students annually, and provides income-generating skills to over 2,000 young adults yearly; 70 percent of our beneficiaries are women and children. 

All of HOPE USA’s health, education, and vocational training facilities provide free/nominal cost services to the impoverished.  Additionally, HOPE has been on the frontlines of every emergency relief effort that has impacted Pakistan, from the 2005 Kashmir earthquake to the current 2022 catastrophic flooding crisis.  Our emergency relief efforts have generated aid to over 100,000 victims of natural disasters over the years and we have established 120 hand pumps in remote and rural areas to provide clean water to 120,000 people total. 

As a nonprofit organization, HOPE USA has an outstanding record of performance.  With almost 15 years of experience, we are currently at the stage where we are a small organization with tremendous impact potential.  Major corporations/governments have vetted us and trust our work.  Some recent grantors include Procter & Gamble, Paypal, Target Corporation, US Aid, Unicef, and the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, HOPE USA has received corporate matches from Cisco, Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, Facebook, Linked In, Adobe, Paypal, Mastercard, and Dreyers.  We are a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) boasting some of the lowest overhead rates one will see in the nonprofit realm (less than 3 percent). In 2021 we were awarded a medal by Pakistan President Arif Alvi for our poverty alleviation model in Pakistan – we were 1 of just 2 organizations to receive this honor.  We are also the only authorized distributer of Procter & Gamble PuR water sachets in Pakistan which become critical during times of natural disasters such as the current flooding crisis.

“No matter how dire the current situation in Pakistan, or the obstacles we face in the future – there is always hope.” ~ Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, Founder of HOPE USA
