HOPE USA Summary: 

HOPE Charities USA is a volunteer-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization working to better the socioeconomic forefront of impoverished citizens in Pakistan.  Estimates of poverty in Pakistan range anywhere from 25 percent to almost 40 percent. Health indicators suggest that it is the lack of accessible healthcare — not terrorism, drones or the energy crisis — that is the greatest adversity facing Pakistan.   Additionally, in a country where 60 percent of youth are illiterate and only 1 in 3 women can read and write, education becomes a scarce commodity which inhibits freedom from poverty.  HOPE USA’s mission is to end poverty in Pakistan through a calculated, multi-pronged interventional approach which focuses on Healthcare, Education, Vocational Training, Clean Water, and Disaster Relief. 

Currently, HOPE has a countrywide presence throughout Pakistan which includes 4 Hospitals, 3 Formal Schools, 200 Informal Schools, 6 Vocational Centers, 1 Basic Health Clinic, 2 Mobile Health units, and 6 Maternal and Child Health Clinics. Altogether we have grown to a network of hospitals and schools that treats over 750,000 patients per year, educates 12,000 students annually, and provides income-generating skills to over 2,000 young adults yearly; 70 percent of our beneficiaries are women and children. 

All of HOPE USA’s health, education, and vocational training facilities provide free/nominal cost services to the impoverished.  Additionally, HOPE has been on the frontlines of every emergency relief effort that has impacted Pakistan, from the 2005 Kashmir earthquake to the current 2022 catastrophic flooding crisis.  Our emergency relief efforts have generated aid to over 100,000 victims of natural disasters over the years and we have established 120 hand pumps in remote and rural areas to provide clean water to 120,000 people total. 

As a nonprofit organization, HOPE USA has an outstanding record of performance.  With almost 15 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.  We are 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.

“No matter how dire the current situation in Pakistan, or the obstacles we face in the future – there is always hope.” ~ Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, Founder of HOPE USA

Our Much Awaited "Ramadan in Kashmir" Pics are Finally Here!

Dear HOPE Friends,

🏔️ Our Much Awaited Ramadan in Kashmir Pics are Finally Here!

✏️ Our Kashmir posts are always popular, and for good reason. Below you’ll find students from our 35 Home Schools across Azad Kashmir being treated to new Eid Clothes along with a biryani meal in Ramadan 2023.

🎓 HOPE USA has revived the pragmatic, yet underutilized concept of home schooling in Pakistan. Home schooling addresses both the barriers to supply and demand in the Pakistan education crisis.

📚 Altogether, HOPE USA educates 11,000 students via Home Schools throughout Pakistan; 2,000 of them are in the remote mountaintops of Azad Kashmir, and 80 percent of these students are girls who would otherwise face challenges in attending school.

✅ We are still collecting donations for all our Ramadan Activities - It’s not too late to get rewards:

Standard Chartered Bank Hosts Grand Iftar for 1,500 Students: Food Rations and Eid Clothes Distributed

Dear HOPE Friends,

Standard Chartered Bank Teams Up with HOPE USA to Host Grand Iftar for 1,500 Underserved Students

🇵🇰 On Thursday, Standard Chartered Bank collaborated with its longtime partner, HOPE USA, to host a Grand Iftar for 1,500 underserved students in Korangi District, Karachi, Pakistan. Students enjoyed breaking their fasts in a community setting, networking with professionals, and also received Food Rations and Eid Clothes during the event.


You can check out a video of the event here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aXQe2xOe4O93mdrGSfXxfzw1YVw1P1kO/view?usp=sharing   


🎯 Events such as these are part and parcel of HOPE USA's efforts to tackle poverty from all angles, physical, mental, and psychosocial.

📈 Due to staggering inflation in Pakistan following two consecutive crises (the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2022 Pakistan Floods), families in Pakistan are especially struggling to make ends meet.

🍔 We have been inundated with requests, especially for food rations. HOPE USA is one of just a handful of organizations in Pakistan which is distributing food rations this Ramadan (due to soaring food costs).

 You can step up to the plate to help deserving families by any of the following methods:

     🔹 Website: https://www.hopecharityusa.org

     🔹 Zelle: hopeusa@hope-ngo.com (Be sure to include a donation category and your email address for a tax-receipt.)

     🔹 Mail a Check: HOPE USA, PO BOX 786, Newark, CA 94560 (Be sure to include a donation category and your email address for a tax-receipt.)

     🔹 LaunchGood: https://www.launchgood.com/pakistanzakat

     🔹 LaunchGood: https://www.launchgood.com/foodrations
   
     🔹 LaunchGood: www.launchgood.com/EidClothesforChildren

     🔹 LaunchGood: www.launchgood.com/door-to-door-iftar

     🔹 LaunchGood: https://www.launchgood.com/pakistansadaqa

💝 Thank you for your generosity during these last few blessed days of Ramadan!

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team


**Please note that this sit-down iftar was sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank.  HOPE USA does not use Zakat funds to pay for sit-down iftars as they are not a Zakat-eligible cause.  The Food Rations and Eid Clothes donated were sponsored by HOPE USA and these are both Zakat-eligible causes.
