Just $33 provides one month's worth of dry food rations for a family of 8. 100% Zakat-Eligible.


Grocery Rations for the Poor in Pakistan:

HOPE USA is stepping up to the plate to provide grocery staples to 3,000 poor families (18,000 individuals total) in Pakistan who have lost their wages during the COVID-19 crisis and inflation.  For just $33, we are delivering grocery rations to these needy families.  One ration bag can feed 8 people for one month and includes the following: 


Our goal is to provide thousands of needy families with basic groceries so that they can feed their families during this pandemic.  We plan to deliver groceries in the following areas of Pakistan: Karachi, Thatta, Badin, Sujawal, Muzaffargarh, and Muzaffarabad.  



The Entire World Has Been Affected:

The Covid-19 pandemic is one that has affected every single family in the world.  In the US, millions of families are currently sequestered in their homes in order to practice social distancing and abide by government orders.  We worry about how this pandemic will affect our job security and how long it will be before we resume a normal routine.  


The Poor in Pakistan have lost their jobs due to Covid-19: 

In Pakistan, the Covid-19 situation is even more perilous for the already impoverished population.  Millions of hourly wage earners who used to earn their living as domestic laborers, shopkeepers, and street vendors have lost their jobs as Covid-19 spreads across Pakistan.  We hope that the effect on Pakistan is not severe, but for poor people who depend on daily wages, this pandemic poses an additional threat of them not being able to put food on the table for their families.  In addition to the danger of the virus, poor families face the threat of starvation.  At HOPE USA, we are aiming to alleviate some of that financial burden for these families with the delivery of grocery basics to those who need it most. 





​About HOPE USA

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.

28 Years of Humanitarian Efforts - Historical Honors Awarded to HOPE by the Pakistan Government

Dear HOPE Friends,

28 Years of Humanitarian Efforts - Historical Honors Awarded to HOPE by the Pakistan Government

As a charitable organization celebrating 28 years of poverty alleviation efforts in Pakistan this year, we're thrilled that the Government of Pakistan has recognized and lauded our work throughout our history .

A Few Special Highlights in Our 28 Year Chronicles Include:
 

  • February 2012 - HOPE Chairperson, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla received a letter of appreciation on behalf of HOPE from former Chief Minister of Punjab for our Disaster Relief efforts following flooding/monsoons in which we constructed Model Villages using renewable resources such as solar power.

 

  • July 2014 - Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla received a follow-up thank you memorandum from former Minister of Punjab, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, for HOPE's Ramadan outreach efforts for Internally Displaced Persons in Punjab.

 

  • September 2021 - Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla traveled to Islamabad to accept an award by Pakistan President Arif Alvi for 25 years of poverty alleviation efforts throughout Pakistan - we were 1 of only 2 organizations to receive this prestigious honor.

 

In developing countries such as Pakistan , the role of nonprofit organizations (NGOs) plays a significant role in providing relief to needy people who often cannot afford basic services such as Healthcare and Education in order to thrive. The role of a reputable and established NGO becomes even more critical when services provided for underserved communities by the government are lacking in either quality, quantity, accessibility, or affordability.

 

Having the support of the government sector is essential when an organization is making strides towards reducing poverty ‍ and improving the living conditions of impoverished communities. This recognition and approval of the government sector becomes a vital component in a multi-pronged plan to break the tenacious cycle of generational poverty at a grassroots level.

 

We're jubilant about celebrating 28 years of poverty alleviation work in Pakistan this year! All praise is owed to God and to our loyal supporters for this success and for being there with us every step of the way.

 

Warm regards,

Cooked Food and Food Rations Delivered to 420 Villagers in Rural Region in Sindh, Pakistan

Dear HOPE Friends,

Cooked Food and Food Rations Delivered to 420 Villagers in Rural Region in Sindh, Pakistan

20% of the general population in Pakistan faces hunger on a daily basis. Pakistan has twice the rate of malnourished people than other countries worldwide . In order to bring relief to thousands who suffer from lack of nutrition and the health consequences that ensue, HOPE has been regularly providing outreach to families with both cooked food and Food Rations for several years.

Our Food Rations project is a beloved donor-initiated idea in which the most financially distraught families in our areas of operation regularly receive Food Rations to help alleviate their dire conditions. Due to the overwhelming generosity of our donors, we have been able scale this project to include dozens of families more than originally anticipated.

The pictures shared are of our most recent distribution of both cooked food and Food Rations in Thatta (a rural area outside of Karachi) in which a total of 300 individuals were given biryani and 120 villagers were provided with food rations to last them one month.

Many thanks to our supporters for joining hands with us to help end hunger .

Warm regards,

400 Villagers Receive P&G Clean Water Bundles

Dear HOPE Friends,

HOPE Field Team Distributes P&G Clean Water Bundles to 400 Villagers in Remote Areas of Sindh, Pakistan

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide underserved communities with clean water , HOPE regularly hosts Procter & Gamble Purifier Sachet Demonstrations in rural villages and underserved areas throughout Pakistan .

On September 27th, 2024, families residing on Link Road (a rural, underdeveloped region in Sindh, Pakistan ) attended an interactive class ‍ addressing the importance of clean water (both with regards to consumption as well as preventing the spread of waterborne diseases) and were gifted Purifier kits to take home.

The HOPE Field Team ‍ met with members of the Link Road community to share knowledge about the necessity of consuming clean water and the immediate positive impact that sanitized water can have upon overall health . Each participant was given a purifying kit consisting of a cooler, bucket, muslin cloth, spatula and 120 sachets of P&G Purifiers of water, enough to last each family several months.

Transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, and polio is highly linked to contaminated water sources. Consuming sanitized water is an essential preventative tool for decreasing the spread of waterborne diseases, especially in marginalized communities which face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare.

A single P&G Purifier sachet removes harmful contaminants for 10 litersof contaminated water, thus making it suitable for consumption and cooking . Additionally, in comparison to other products on the market, P&G Purifier sachets leave no salty or sour aftertaste, thereby making it more likely that families will actually utilize them.

The HOPE Team is humbled to feature our long-standing partnership with Procter & Gamble, one in which we work together to promote clean water efforts via multiple outreach activities. In fact, this collaboration is so exceptional that we are the only non-governmental organization (NGO) to be given this honor by Procter & Gamble in Pakistan .

Many thanks to the P&G Team as well as our supporters for helping us better the lives of those living in abject poverty ‍!

Warm regards,

Food security 😋 is a growing need in Pakistan 🇵🇰 and around the world 🌍, especially after the Covid-19 😷 pandemic triggered excessive inflation 📈 across many countries. In Pakistan 🇵🇰, the aftermath of the 2022 Flood Crisis 🌊 and political instability have further exacerbated the need to fight hunger 😩 amidst a rising 📊 poor population. In an effort to assuage the pressing situation, HOPE has incorporated two main ways by which we are directly combatting hunger in Pakistan 🇵🇰:

🔶 Monthly Food Rations Distribution - Just $33 provides dry food rations 🍱 for a family of 8 for one month

🔶 Cooked Food Distribution - Just $1 sponsors a hot meal of biryani 🥘 delivered to a Zakat-eligible person

Our Food Rations 🍱 program is a donor-initiated idea which started off as a humble project to provide food essentials 🍱 to 22 of our most needy families within the Karachi 🌆 metropolitan area and has catapulted ⚡ to become an established staple in our poverty alleviation portfolio. Alongside with the regular monthly distribution of food rations 🍱, we reinforce these food security efforts by serving cooked food such as biryani 🥘 on various occasions throughout the year 📆 .

Combating Food Insecurity in Pakistan- Pictures of our Recent Food Rations Distribution

Dear HOPE Friends,

Combating Food Insecurity in Pakistan 🇵🇰 - Pictures of our Recent Food Rations 🍱 Distribution

For the past several years, HOPE has been diligently working to combat the challenges 🧗🏾‍♂️created by Food Insecurity🥘 in Pakistan 🇵🇰. A whopping 20% of the general population of Pakistan 🇵🇰 faces hunger 🚫 on a daily basis. This has resulted in 40 million people (out of a population of 220 million total) who are not getting enough nutrients 🍊. In fact, Pakistan 🇵🇰 has twice the rate 📈 of malnourished people 🤒 than other countries worldwide 🌍.

40% of children 🧒🏻under the age of 5 in Pakistan 🇵🇰 are stunted according to the UN World Food Program, and of those, 11% are severely malnourished 🤒. Growth stunting due to malnourishment/undernourishment affects as many as 50% of Pakistan's children 🧒🏻.

You may partake in this fight against hunger 🤒with us by sponsoring a month 📆 of Food Rations 🍱 for a Family of 8 for just $33. This is a Zakat-Eligible project and we are honored to report that this movement was initiated from a suggestion by one of our long-standing private supporters 💕.

Our Food Rations consist of a month's supply of Rice 🍚, Wheat Flour 🍞(to make tortillas), Lentils 🍲, Cooking Oil 🧈, Milk Powder 🥛, Tea ☕, Sugar 🧁, Salt 🧂, and Biscuits 🍪 - enough for a family of 8.

The pictures below are from our recent distribution in an area on the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan 🇵🇰 known by the residents there as Kachra Kundi. Sadly, as the name implies, this area is a landfill 🗑️ and families 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 who live there subsist by sifting through the waste and searching for metals to recycle ♻️ and earn a tiny income.

Many thanks 🌹 for your participation in this noble endeavor!

Our Food Rations Campaign Has Been Going Strong for 7 Years!

Dear HOPE Friends,


Our Food Rations 🍱 Campaign is a Donor-Initiated Idea which Has Been Going Strong for 7 Years!  


In a nutshell 🥜(no pun intended), at least once a month 📆 (and more as circumstances and opportunities present themselves), HOPE USA has been making strides towards reducing food insecurity for hundreds of families in Pakistan 🇵🇰.  


For Just $33 per Month, You Can Sponsor Food Rations for a Needy Family.  Zakat-Eligible Families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 are Given a Month's Supply of Food Rations 🍱 for 8 People Which Includes:


🔶 Rice🍚

🔶 Wheat Flour 🍞

🔶 Lentils 🍲

🔶 Cooking Oil 👩🏻‍🍳

🔶 Sugar 🧁

🔶 Milk Powder

🔶 Tea ☕

🔶 Biscuits/Cookies 🍪

🔶 Salt 🧂


As inflation and increased cost of living 📈has significantly hampered quality of life 👎🏼 for those born into poverty, it only reinforces our gratitude 💝that one of our longtime supporters came to us with this incredible idea many years ago.  It has grown to one of our most popular campaigns, especially during the COVID-19 😷 pandemic, and the economic fallout that has occurred as a result.  


The pictures below are from our recent distribution in a landfill area on the outskirts of Karachi known as Kachra Kundi as well as Thatta, a heavily-populated district approximately an hour from Karachi 🌆.


Our sincere thanks 🌹to this supporter for being the seed behind this movement and for the hundreds of donors who have supported our Food Rations Campaign as well as our various poverty alleviation initiatives in Pakistan.  We are truly grateful for your support and could not do this without you 💐.

Darul Sadaqa786 More Than Doubles HOPE USA's Goal of Pakistan Flood Relief House Construction - a Total of 59 Houses Built For Flood Affectee Families

Dear HOPE Friends, 


https://youtu.be/ayov-fK3VRo

Please watch our above video pertaining to our House Reconstruction Project for Pakistan Flood Affectee families!

Overall, almost 500 needy people have received housing assistance from HOPE's Flood Relief House Reconstruction Project.


HOPE's field team ⛑️ conducted extensive assessments to determine the most needy families in flood-ravaged 🌊 areas of Sindh, Pakistan who would receive housing 🏚️. Special consideration was given to those who had lost all their meager belongings in the floods, the elderly 👵🏽, orphans 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽, and disabled people ♿ . All of our beneficiaries were already living below the poverty line prior to this disaster and plunged into even more dire straits following the floods.
 
HOPE USA has been a frontrunner 🏃🏻‍♀️ in providing aid to victims of the 2022 Pakistan Flood Crisis that left one-third of the country under water for half of 2022. In total thus far we have provided aid to over 115,000 victims of this national disaster. Our relief spanned all forms: Cooked Food 🥘, Food Rations 🍱 , Clean Water 💧, Medical Relief 🚑 , Temporary Shelter 🛖 , Mosquito Nets 🦟 , Clothing 👕 , Slippers 🩴 , Bedding 🛏️ , and Permanent Housing 🏚️ and included all areas in Pakistan which were in dire need of aid.

The video accompanying this update speaks volumes for the gratitude both the recipients of the houses 🏚️ exuded along with the HOPE Team towards Darul Sadaqa786 for entrusting us with this noble endeavor. Providing a house for a family is the beginning of creating a home in which an atmosphere of love 💖 and security 🗝️ can flourish, both critical for long-term psychosocial breakthroughs in poverty alleviation.

Darul Sadaqa786 was founded by Sister Iffath Hasan, a self-taught Hafizah 📖 of the Quran who, along with managing this nonprofit, conducts various free Islamic 🕌 classes ranging from Arabic grammar to Character Building for women. She is also the author of Quranic Arabic Made Easy, a best-selling Quranic Arabic grammar book 📔 which has received accolades for its organization and teaching methodology.

Darul Sadaqa786 has been a long-standing and regular behind the scenes supporter of all of HOPE's various poverty alleviation initiatives ranging from Healthcare 🏥 to Education 🏫 to Vocational Training 💻 to Clean Water💧 to Ramadan Activities ☪️ to Qurbani 🕋 to Disaster Relief 🚑.

HOPE is extremely grateful to have earned Darul Sadaqa786's trust and support for several years and are immensely appreciative of their never-ending generosity. We are especially appreciative to Darul Sadaqa786 for sponsoring the majority of HOPE's Covid-19 Life-Saving Equipment acquisition 🔬 for Hospitals, the construction of our Azad Kashmir Maternal & Child Health Center 🏥 , and funding the vast majority of HOPE's Pakistan Flood Crisis Housing Project 🏘️.

The HOPE Team is imbued with sincere appreciation and prayers 💝 to Sister Iffath Hasan and Darul Sadaqa786 for this collaborative effort which has provided housing to over 500 extremely needy individuals. We hope that the accompanying reel 🎥 will speak for itself in terms of the tremendous impact that has already had on those who have very little!

Due to the extensive nature of the 2022 Pakistan Flood Crisis, HOPE will remain an active force in long-term rehabilitative efforts for victims. You may still contribute towards a new house 🏚️ for a family (just $1,500, both Zakat-Eligible and a Sadaqa Jaariayah effort) or any other relief efforts by the following:

Next week we will begin the house reconstruction for flood affectee families - this is a Zakat-eligible effort (each family will own their own house) and each new home (built from the ground up) will cost $1,500.  Donations are welcomed towards this noble cause.

8,800 Pakistan Flood Victims In Heavily Hit Districts Receive Rations/Aid

8,800 Pakistan Flood Victims in Heavily Hit Districts Receive Aid

The HOPE USA Team has resumed field work in the province of Sindh which is still reeling from multiple districts suffering from extensive flood damage. This week we revisited Badin, Larkana, Dadu, and Shikarpur and distributed relief to over 8,800 individuals. Our aid to victims includes cooked food, food rations, clothing/slippers, and mosquito nets (a high demand commodity due to the sharp rise in dengue and malaria cases), as well as a medical camp (800 patients).

HOPE USA is delivering relief to areas which have borne the brunt of flood damage and whose residents are already living well below the poverty line. We are an active presence in districts which have received little to no intervention thus far.

A simple donation can bring needed essentials to those who deserve it most. This campaign is Zakat-Eligible.

A generous donor of CryptoZakat is still matching the first $100 of donations to HOPE USA’s Pakistan Flood Relief campaign. Click on this link: https://www.every.org/hopecharityusa?donateTo=hopecharityusa#/donate/card to take advantage of maximizing your impact.

One-Month Food Ration Bag: $33/family of 8​

Medical Intervention​: $8/Patient

Clothing​: $10/Person

As a nonprofit organization, HOPE USA has an outstanding record of performance. With 24 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.

HOPE USA is 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.

The Prophet saws promised that Sadaqa brings much barakah into one’s life and never decreases one’s wealth; it’s a win-win for all of us to do our part.

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team

Dear HOPE Friends,

HOPE USA Pumps Out Relief to 8,000 Balochistan Flood Victims in Collaboration with Gasoline Conglomerate Asia Petroleum​

Yesterday, 
HOPE USA executed relief in the form of food rations, clothing, bedding, biscuits, and dates to over 8,000 flood victims in Balochistan, Pakistan. We are proud to have collaborated with our long-standing partner and gasoline conglomerate, Asia Petroleum for this noble initiative. Over the next four days we will be providing relief to the following areas: Sujawal, Badin, Thatta, Swat Valley, and Rajanpur, Punjab.

Asia Petroleum has partnered with HOPE for the past 15 years in various poverty alleviation models throughout Pakistan. Most notably, Asia Petroleum sponsors the operations of our Mobile Health Units in Hub, Balochistan. These MHU's deliver free healthcare to over 70,000 villagers per year; doctors visit remote villages in Hub on a biweekly rotational basis to treat underserved patients who do not otherwise have access to healthcare; 70 percent of our MHU patients are women and children.

We are grateful to Allah SWT for His Mercy upon us, our generous supporters like you, and our partnerships with large corporations such as Asia Petroleum who have vetted us, trust us, and are eager to make a difference in the lives of those who deserve it most.

Warm regards,
