Dear HOPE Friends,
Food Rations Efforts Accelerate as Eid Approaches - 450 Inner City Families in Zia Colony, Karachi, Pakistan Served
As the month of Ramadan has swiftly entered the last few precious days, the HOPE Team has been working even harder to provide Food Rations to underprivileged families in time for Eid ul Fitr. This week, 450 students of HOPE's Zia Colony Formal School (catering to an underserved inner city area in Karachi, Pakistan) received Food Rations. These efforts took place at HOPE's Zia Colony Hospital and were sponsored by the generosity of our donors.
Zia Colony is a bustling inner city neighborhood within the metropolitan hub of Karachi. The residents of Zia Colony live at/below the poverty line and face hardships that are part and parcel of urban slum regions throughout Pakistan. For over two decades, HOPE has had a dominant presence in Zia Colony via the presence of a Hospital, Formal School, Maternal and Child Health Center, and Vocational Training Center. These services are designed to uplift residents and provide them with the necessary tools to break free from the tenacious grips of poverty. We are proud to say that many of our success stories come out of Zia Colony and with the adequate support, many community members have gone on to stand on their own two feet.
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mrs. Bilquis and MGYW for sponsoring Food Rations for 50 families of Zia Colony School. MGYW is an organization that has been sponsoring ESL and educational efforts for 30 girls who attend Zia Colony Formal School for several years.
Please join us in helping those in need:
