  Food for Survival

“Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan – it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.” [Al-Quran 57:18]


Millions are locked indoors across Pakistan following a lock-down ordered by the government.  Streets are deserted, public transport, offices, shops, markets, parks, and other public spots are closed due to the Corona virus pandemic in the country. All the economic activities of earning like construction, maintenance, repairing are suspended. Among the carrier and suspects of the virus, there is a big number of people who are breathing hard to survive for life! These are the daily-wagers like labors, masons, painters, cart-pullers, and carpenters who are neither suspects nor carriers of the virus but are the normal people locked inside the home for the past eight weeks. These daily wagers sustain their lives on wages , they earn daily. Their families solely depend on these wages.  As these daily wagers are locked at home so as their wages are locked!  Jacobabad is one of the cities of Pakistan  where these daily wagers are badly affected since the lock-down is imposed. 


The majority of this strata belongs to small jobs of construction , maiantenance  and repairing  etc . They are now unable to make both ends meet as a result of the ban on their daily movement for doing the labor.  With their already lower economic affordability, they are facing a lack of resources to live a healthy and normal life.  Their children, women, and elders are in abject miseries. Their immediate worry now is about food as they have no food for the living. They are going  bed hungry.

“Spend (in charity) out of We have bestowed for their sustenance secretly and openly ; and turn off evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (Eternal) Home.” — The Holy Qur’an [13:22]

A daily-wage earner while talking to a TV reporter expressing his economic condition said “What should I do? Work?  No! That's impossible now!  I can't even beg even if I have to!" and pointing to his son, standing nearby him, he wept, " I can live without food for days,  but what would I tell them when I don't bring them anything to eat!” the daily wager lamented.

Taking some measures to protect these poorest people in this worsening situation we distributed food items among the 100 needy families but could not cover all. Your support can make us go even further for our initiative to distribute   food ration among families of these daily wagers in Jacobabad(Pakistan) This package of ration includes rice, flour, pulses, cooking oil and spices which will likely to meet their ten days of food needs. 

"Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

Please hand in hand with us to support this noble cause. Your support is crucial to our efforts for the survival of low-wagers. If you’re able, we’d love it if you could make a donation of any amount to help us achieve our mission. Your donation can be a reason of life for many households during this pandemic and will let none go bed hungry.   Please support us for humanity. We urge you to extend social solidarity.   

“Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan – it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.” [Al-Quran 57:18]
