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

We're On a Mission to Spread Smiles This Ramadan With Eid Clothes!

Dear HOPE Friends,

❤️ Gift a Needy Child Eid Clothes This Ramadan❤️

🦺 As Has Been our Tradition for the Past 15 years, We Are on a Mission to Spread Smiles This Ramadan!

🎁 By gifting needy children across Pakistan with Eid clothes, we address the critical, yet often overlooked psychosocial aspect of freedom from poverty.  

You can participate in this effort by donating any amount towards our Eid Clothes campaign - each outfit is $17 and this cause is Zakat-Eligible. 🎉

The Pictures Represent our 2024 Eid Clothes Distribution from the Past Few Days. 💝

A new Eid outfit has numerous benefits, many of which are intangible.  Often one can establish various pragmatic avenues to poverty alleviation, however the psychosocial development of children is not addressed as effectively with an exclusive focus on basic needs.  After all, how can children overcome poverty if their mindset is still trapped in their past?

Our Food Rations Campaign Has Been Going Strong for 7 Years!

Dear HOPE Friends,


Our Food Rations 🍱 Campaign is a Donor-Initiated Idea which Has Been Going Strong for 7 Years!  


In a nutshell 🥜(no pun intended), at least once a month 📆 (and more as circumstances and opportunities present themselves), HOPE USA has been making strides towards reducing food insecurity for hundreds of families in Pakistan 🇵🇰.  


For Just $33 per Month, You Can Sponsor Food Rations for a Needy Family.  Zakat-Eligible Families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 are Given a Month's Supply of Food Rations 🍱 for 8 People Which Includes:


🔶 Rice🍚

🔶 Wheat Flour 🍞

🔶 Lentils 🍲

🔶 Cooking Oil 👩🏻‍🍳

🔶 Sugar 🧁

🔶 Milk Powder

🔶 Tea ☕

🔶 Biscuits/Cookies 🍪

🔶 Salt 🧂


As inflation and increased cost of living 📈has significantly hampered quality of life 👎🏼 for those born into poverty, it only reinforces our gratitude 💝that one of our longtime supporters came to us with this incredible idea many years ago.  It has grown to one of our most popular campaigns, especially during the COVID-19 😷 pandemic, and the economic fallout that has occurred as a result.  


The pictures below are from our recent distribution in a landfill area on the outskirts of Karachi known as Kachra Kundi as well as Thatta, a heavily-populated district approximately an hour from Karachi 🌆.


Our sincere thanks 🌹to this supporter for being the seed behind this movement and for the hundreds of donors who have supported our Food Rations Campaign as well as our various poverty alleviation initiatives in Pakistan.  We are truly grateful for your support and could not do this without you 💐.  


Warm Regards,

HOPE Team Ends 2023 and Kicks Off 2024 in Kashmir and KPK

HOPE On-Ground Team Ends 2023 🏁 and Kicks off 🚀 2024 in Kashmir 🏔️ & KPK 🛖:

3,000+ Underserved Women 🧕🏻and Children 🧒🏻 Receive Food 🥘, Medical Aid 🩺, Winter Gear 🧥, School Supplies 🎒, Blankets

Dear HOPE Friends,

The On-Ground HOPE Team wrapped up 2023 with a fruitful trip to oversee our Health 🏥, Education 🏫, and Vocational Training 🧵facilities in the Northern Areas of Pakistan 🇵🇰, namely Azad Kashmir 🏔️ and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 🛖.

Over 3,000 Underserved Women 🧕🏻 and Children 🧒🏻 Received Biryani 🥘, Warm Clothing 🧥, Blankets 🛌🏻 , Medical Aid 🩺, Vocational Training 🧵, and Participated in Community-Building Exercises such as School Ceremonies 🎓.

This trip was quite extensive in nature and covered a wide geographical scope 🌏 which encompasses our recently-expanded network to serve the poor.

Currently, HOPE's Framework for Poverty Alleviation in the Northern Areas 🏔️of Pakistan 🇵🇰 Includes:

     🔶 35 Home Schools 📚serving 2,000 Students 👩🏻‍🎓, 80% of whom are underprivileged girls

     🔶 5 Maternal 🧕🏻& Child 🧒🏻 Health Centers 🏥 (all equipped to handle births) which serve a total of 90,000 Villagers 🛖 annually

     🔶 2 Vocational Training Centers (set up within MCHC grounds) which provide income-generating skills 🧵to 500 Women annually

The HOPE Team met with and interacted 🤝🏼with thousands of members of the communities from Mansehra, KPK to Azad Kashmir 🏔️.

     🔶 Children 🧒🏻 performed for the community on stage, were gifted new backpacks 🎒 and school supplies 📝, and received accolades 🏆 for their accomplishments.

     🔶 Warm winter gear 🧥, food 🥘, and blankets 🛌🏻 were distributed to villagers 🛖.

     🔶 Young adults in our Vocational Centers were lauded 👏🏼 for their hard work 🧶 and the skills they had acquired.

Our new Medical Facilities 🏥in KPK 🛖which are sponsored by Yusuf Foundation (Garhi Habibullah and Mansehra) were visited by Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, along with our Azad Kashmir 🏔️ MCHC (sponsored by Darul Sadaqa and private donors). During this visit particularly, the HOPE Team witnessed firsthand the positive impact 📈 these facilities are having upon the surrounding communities, and especially the life-saving ⛑️ role they have taken on:

     🔶 These communities were in such dire need of access to affordable and quality medical care that these MCHCs are becoming larger than life and taking on an even greater role to the communities than we ever anticipated.

     🔶 The mere presence of a medical facility in these areas has given hope to thousands of villagers who could not access healthcare due to cost and/or distance.

     🔶 In this visit, we equipped all MCHCs with infant warmers and ultrasound machines to meet the needs of villagers.

     🔶 With funding, we are also seeking to furnish each with incubators to handle complex cases.

Overall, we are thrilled to report that due to the generosity 🌹of our supporters and organizations such as Yusuf Foundation and Darul Sadaqa786, we are seeing precious lives saved in our medical clinics 🏥 and children flourishing in our schools 🏫. This trip proved to be so eventful in nature that we will be featuring a couple of stories in the near future about the tangible impact that has been through the generosity of our donors 💝.

Warm Regards,

The HOPE USA 🇺🇸, HOPE UK 🇬🇧, and HOPE Pakistan 🇵🇰 Teams

First Baby is Born Safely at Our MCHC in Azad Kashmir!

Dear HOPE Friends,

This weekend we achieved a new milestone 🏆 in our fight to reduce Maternal 👩🏻‍🍼 and Infant 👶🏼 Mortality in Pakistan 🇵🇰 - the first delivery of a baby from our Maternal and Child Health Center network took place at our MCHC in Langarpura, Azad Kashmir 🏔️!

This moment ushers in what we hope to be the beginning of a new era in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. In these remote regions, the terrain is mountainous🏔️ and difficult to traverse and healthcare facilities 🏥 are few and far between. Even if such facilities do exist, they are often not well-equipped and poor people simply cannot afford them . It is standard practice that poor mothers labor and deliver their children in their own homes.

Unfortunately, the lack 🚫 of accessible healthcare facilities 🏥 for poor communities has led to adversely high Maternal 👩🏻‍🍼 and Infant 👶🏼 Mortality rates in Pakistan 🇵🇰, especially in cases where there are labor complications or medical intervention 🩺 is needed. MMR and IMR rates are higher in remote and rural areas such as Northern Pakistan 🏔️ versus urban metropolitan 🏙️ areas.

In Pakistan 🇵🇰, 33% of maternal 👩🏻‍🍼 deaths and 80% of infant 👶🏼 deaths are preventable!

HOPE has been working diligently to mitigate MMR and IMR in Pakistan 🇵🇰 by providing free/nominal cost quality prenatal 🤰🏻 and infant 🐣 care to underserved communities:

🔷 In urban slum areas of Karachi, we operate four Hospitals 🏥 in which a total of 15,000 children are born safely each year.

🔷 In the Northern Areas of Pakistan 🏔️, we have gone a step further and have equipped three new MCHCs in those regions (Langarpura, Garhi Habibullah, Mansehra) with birthing provisions, essentially making them mini-hospitals. This measure is a proactive step ✅ to ensure safe deliveries for both mothers 👩🏻‍🍼 and children 🧒🏻 in those communities.

We are grateful 💖 to our all our generous supporters who have made regular contributions towards the construction 🚜 of these facilities along with ensuring their smooth operations.

We would especially like to thank Darul Sadaqa786 and private donors for sponsoring the bulk of the construction 🔨 of our Langarpura, Azad Kashmir MCHC. Special gratitude to Yusuf Foundation for funding the construction 🚜 and operations for both Garhi Habibullah, KPK and Mansehra, KPK. We could not have done this without your support!

If you would like to take part in Saving Maternal and Infant Lives in Pakistan, please donate to our Global Giving campaign. Currently, all donations to HOPE's Save Maternal and Infant Lives campaign on Global Giving are matched at 50 percent!

Below, please find an array of services your donation can sponsor:

🔷 $10: Support 3 Prenatal Visits for a Pregnant Mother 👩🏻‍🍼

🔷 $20: Support the Cost of 2 Ultrasounds 🚼

🔷 $25: Pay for Fetal Heartbeat Monitoring 🫀

🔷 $50: Sponsor a Blood Transfusion 🏥 for a Mother

🔷 $75: Support Phototherapy for a Jaundiced Infant 👶🏼

🔷 $100: Sponsor a Normal Birth 🐣 at One of Our Hospitals

🔷 $200: Pay for a Cesarean Birth 🐥 at One of Our Hospitals

🌹 Thank you to all our supporters for celebrating these milestones with us as we gradually chip away at poverty barriers in Pakistan!

Warm regards,

Darul Sadaqa786 More Than Doubles ? HOPE USA's Goal of Pakistan Flood Relief House Construction - a Total of 59 Houses ?️ Built For Flood Affectee ? Families

Dear HOPE Friends, 


https://youtu.be/ayov-fK3VRo

Please watch our above video pertaining to our House Reconstruction Project for Pakistan Flood Affectee families!


Over the course of 2022 and early 2023, fundraising powerhouse, Darul Sadaqa786, stealthily worked behind the scenes to surprise HOPE USA with a magnanimous grant to fund a total of 51 houses 🏚️ for victims of the 2022 Pakistan Flood 🌊 Crisis.

Overall, this grand gesture more than doubles 📊 HOPE USA's initial target of 25 houses 🏚️, and combined with private donations, a total of 59 houses 🏚️ have been donated to victims of disastrous flooding 🌊 that began in August 2022. Overall, almost 500 needy people have received housing assistance from HOPE's Flood Relief House Reconstruction Project.


HOPE's field team ⛑️ conducted extensive assessments to determine the most needy families in flood-ravaged 🌊 areas of Sindh, Pakistan who would receive housing 🏚️. Special consideration was given to those who had lost all their meager belongings in the floods, the elderly 👵🏽, orphans 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽, and disabled people ♿ . All of our beneficiaries were already living below the poverty line prior to this disaster and plunged into even more dire straits following the floods.
 
HOPE USA has been a frontrunner 🏃🏻‍♀️ in providing aid to victims of the 2022 Pakistan Flood Crisis that left one-third of the country under water for half of 2022. In total thus far we have provided aid to over 115,000 victims of this national disaster. Our relief spanned all forms: Cooked Food 🥘, Food Rations 🍱 , Clean Water 💧, Medical Relief 🚑 , Temporary Shelter 🛖 , Mosquito Nets 🦟 , Clothing 👕 , Slippers 🩴 , Bedding 🛏️ , and Permanent Housing 🏚️ and included all areas in Pakistan which were in dire need of aid.

The video accompanying this update speaks volumes for the gratitude both the recipients of the houses 🏚️ exuded along with the HOPE Team towards Darul Sadaqa786 for entrusting us with this noble endeavor. Providing a house for a family is the beginning of creating a home in which an atmosphere of love 💖 and security 🗝️ can flourish, both critical for long-term psychosocial breakthroughs in poverty alleviation.

Darul Sadaqa786 was founded by Sister Iffath Hasan, a self-taught Hafizah 📖 of the Quran who, along with managing this nonprofit, conducts various free Islamic 🕌 classes ranging from Arabic grammar to Character Building for women. She is also the author of Quranic Arabic Made Easy, a best-selling Quranic Arabic grammar book 📔 which has received accolades for its organization and teaching methodology.

Darul Sadaqa786 has been a long-standing and regular behind the scenes supporter of all of HOPE's various poverty alleviation initiatives ranging from Healthcare 🏥 to Education 🏫 to Vocational Training 💻 to Clean Water💧 to Ramadan Activities ☪️ to Qurbani 🕋 to Disaster Relief 🚑.

HOPE is extremely grateful to have earned Darul Sadaqa786's trust and support for several years and are immensely appreciative of their never-ending generosity. We are especially appreciative to Darul Sadaqa786 for sponsoring the majority of HOPE's Covid-19 Life-Saving Equipment acquisition 🔬 for Hospitals, the construction of our Azad Kashmir Maternal & Child Health Center 🏥 , and funding the vast majority of HOPE's Pakistan Flood Crisis Housing Project 🏘️.

The HOPE Team is imbued with sincere appreciation and prayers 💝 to Sister Iffath Hasan and Darul Sadaqa786 for this collaborative effort which has provided housing to over 500 extremely needy individuals. We hope that the accompanying reel 🎥 will speak for itself in terms of the tremendous impact that has already had on those who have very little!

Due to the extensive nature of the 2022 Pakistan Flood Crisis, HOPE will remain an active force in long-term rehabilitative efforts for victims. You may still contribute towards a new house 🏚️ for a family (just $1,500, both Zakat-Eligible and a Sadaqa Jaariayah effort) or any other relief efforts by the following:

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

Dear HOPE Friends,

📚 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.

Standard Chartered Bank Hosts Grand Iftar, Eid Clothes, Food Rations for 1,500 Underserved Students

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.)

**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.

Messages of Thanks from Children to Our Supporters

Dear HOPE Friends,

Messages of Thanks from Children in Pakistan to All of Our Supporters

Imagine walking into downtrodden neighborhoods of the Karachi, Pakistan metropolitan area to distribute food rations and Eid clothes to children and being greeted by warm messages of appreciation - well that's exactly what our HOPE team experienced and we wanted to pass along the good feelings to you, our supporters who make this possible.

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team

HOPE USA's Zakat-Eligible Door-to-Door Iftar Reaches Highly Underserved Areas

Dear HOPE Friends,

🥘 This week, HOPE USA's Door-to-Door Iftar project reached an area known by the residents who live there as "Kachra Kundi."

As the name suggests in Urdu, Kachra Kundi is a landfill area about an hour away from Karachi, Pakistan where a community of 1,000 families scrape together a living by digging through the garbage for food and finding things to recycle which they can then turn into a small income.

In a Needs Assessment Survey conducted by HOPE Pakistan, we learned that the most needy family in Kachra Kundi was subsisting on an income of $20/month for a family of 9. This translates to $.07 per person per day.

HOPE's Needs Assessment Study gave rise to our highly successful, donor-initiated Grocery Rations Project whereby the HOPE Team delivers monthly food rations to 21 families in various poor locales for the past four years.

✅ You can support those in Kachra Kundi or other underserved urban slum areas in Pakistan by the following:
