Dear HOPE Friends,
HOPE Team Delivers Biryani ๐ฅ to 1,500 Needy People Across Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ
As part of our efforts towards reducing hunger ๐ฉ and malnutrition ๐ซ in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ, the HOPE field team regularly distributes cooked food ๐ฑto constituents in various underserved neighborhoods and villages ๐ throughout the country. Last week, we ramped up our outreach and served over 1,500 packets of biryani ๐ฅ to all areas in which we operate in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ.
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 ๐๏ธ (Garhi Habibullah and Mansehra, KPK along with Langarpura, Azad Kashmir) disadvantaged slum areas in Karachi ๐, Sindh (Zia Colony and 100 Quarters), large poor districts ๐๏ธ outside of Karachi, Sindh (Thatta and Sujawal), and remote village ๐ regions within Sindh (Link Road in Ghaggar).
Food security ๐ is a growing need in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ and around the world ๐, especially after the Covid-19 ๐ท pandemic triggered excessive inflation ๐ across many countries. In Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ, the aftermath of the 2022 Flood Crisis ๐ and political instability have further exacerbated the need to fight hunger ๐ฉ amidst a rising ๐ 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 ๐ต๐ฐ:
๐ถ Monthly Food Rations Distribution - Just $33 provides dry food rations ๐ฑ for a family of 8 for one month
๐ถ Cooked Food Distribution - Just $1 sponsors a hot meal of biryani ๐ฅ delivered to a Zakat-eligible person
Our Food Rations ๐ฑย program is a donor-initiated idea which started off as a humble project to provide food essentials ๐ฑ to 22 of our most needy families within the Karachi ๐ metropolitan area and has catapulted โก to become an established staple in our poverty alleviation portfolio. Alongside with the regular monthly distribution of food rations ๐ฑ, we reinforce these food security efforts by serving cooked food such as biryani ๐ฅ on various occasions throughout the year ๐ .

Warm regards,
