“Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like the one who did it.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
This campaign will collect all funds raised by June 16, 2018 at 1:00 AM EDT
HOPE USA has been sponsoring Ramadan iftars in its formal schools in Pakistan (in Zia Colony: 610 students, Muzaffargarh: 320 students, and Thatta: 340 students) for the past ten years. Iftar is the meal that Muslims eat at sundown after a day of fasting. Providing dinner for one child costs $2 and as a donor you can sponsor an entire school or a group of children.

The students that go to HOPE schools come from impoverished backgrounds (sons and daughters of laborers, farmers, domestic helpers) and skipping meals is often a normal part of life for them, even outside of Ramadan. During Ramadan though, HOPE takes extra steps to ensure that all students and their families are treated to a hot meal at the end of the day. We even go the extra step to hand-deliver meals to families who are not able to attend the school iftars.
These Ramadan iftars not only provide a much-appreciated meal to these families, they foster a sense of community and well-being. In all three schools, students and their families gather collectively on the school grounds at sunset and share in a meal and prayers together. For the past ten years, HOPE has been a part in solidifying the compassion and empathy amongst these communities. With your support, we aim to educate and empower these individuals in the long-run and lift them from the grasps of poverty.
Health Oriented Preventive Education (HOPE) was the inspiration of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, a pediatrician by profession who helped eradicate polio from Pakistan in the early stages of her career. Due to Dr. Mubina's medical background, HOPE's initial objective was to provide the poor with better access to medical centers and hospitals. In a country grappling with basic issues such as lack of access to clean drinking water, poor maternal and infant health, malnutrition in children, prevention and treatment of diseases such as malaria, cholera, and tuberculosis, it already seemed as though HOPE had enough of a challenge on its hands. But soon Dr. Mubina realized that the cornerstone of a productive and forward-thinking community relies on both a healthy body and healthy mind. She honed her vision to an integrative approach that was twofold: health and education.
As a single woman in a male-dominated country, Dr. Mubina faced many challenges and setbacks; it was through perseverance and hard work that HOPE grew from a dream to a reality. Today, HOPE has a countrywide presence throughout Pakistan which includes hospitals, formal schools, informal schools, vocational centers, basic health clinics, mobile health clinics, and maternal health clinics, all which provide free or minimal-cost healthcare and education. Additionally, HOPE has been active in disaster relief efforts throughout Pakistan. We are humbled to say that we have grown to a network of hospitals and schools that treats 500,000 patients and educates 10,000 students per year, mostly women and children.

Salaams, Peace, and Hello to our Friends around the World,
We at HOPE USA wanted to THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your overwhelming support of our Iftar and Eid Clothes campaigns. With your help we have reached fundraising levels of $7,949 for iftars and $6,756 for Eid clothes. That is enough to feed almost 4,000 impoverished children and provide new Eid clothes for 675 children who rarely ever get new clothes!
The picture above is from about three days ago, a happy girl receiving a new Eid outfit in Thatta, Pakistan.
A special thank you to my campaign coach, Mariam El-Khatib for stepping up to the plate to help out a stranger. :) She works at LaunchGood but she really went the extra mile to help us get the most out of fundraising this month. Thank you, Mariam!
We are still collecting for both campaigns until midnight tonight if you would still like to donate:
