Dear HOPE Friends,
HOPE Team Delivers Biryani 🥘 to 1,500 Needy People Across Pakistan 🇵🇰
As part of our efforts towards reducing hunger 😩 and malnutrition 🚫 in Pakistan 🇵🇰, the HOPE field team regularly distributes cooked food 🍱to constituents in various underserved neighborhoods and villages 🛖 throughout the country. Last week, we ramped up our outreach and served over 1,500 packets of biryani 🥘 to all areas in which we operate in Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Below is a collage representing our biryani distribution which took place between July 12 and July 15, 2024. Areas reached included our MCHCs in the Northern Areas 🏔️ (Garhi Habibullah and Mansehra, KPK along with Langarpura, Azad Kashmir) disadvantaged slum areas in Karachi 🌆, Sindh (Zia Colony and 100 Quarters), large poor districts 🏙️ outside of Karachi, Sindh (Thatta and Sujawal), and remote village 🛖 regions within Sindh (Link Road in Ghaggar).
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 📆 .
You may participate in this endeavor by a multitude of ways including:

Warm regards,
