By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

Qurbani 2026 Update - 7,200 Needy Persons Served Throughout Pakistan

https://youtube.com/shorts/_qHdAuRUwKA?feature=share

This year, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were blessed to gift Qurbani meat to 900 families (7,200 individuals) throughout Pakistan. Areas of distribution included poor locales (urban slum neighborhoods as well as far-flung village regions) in which HOPE provides poverty alleviation services to underserved populations, including: Karachi (Sindh), Thatta (Sindh), Sujawal (Sindh), Mansehra (KPK), Garhi Habibullah (KPK), Mansehra (Punjab).

Our beneficiaries were very grateful to receive Qurbani meat - for the vast majority of them, it is the only time of year they eat meat. HOPE beneficiaries struggle with food security year-round; due to severe financial constraints, most cannot afford enough food for their families, let alone a luxury food staple like meat. The joy and gratitude they feel when receiving this gift is enormous and the HOPE Team is ever so grateful to our supporters who come forth every year to help brighten their Eid ul Adha.

Below, please enjoy the collage of photos collected by the HOPE Team as they distributed Qurbani meat during the Eid ul Adha holiday.

Thank you once again to all our donors who made Qurbani 2026 beautiful.

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team

500 Azad Kashmir Home School Students Receive Recognition and Prizes in End-of-Year Ceremony

By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

500 Azad Kashmir Home School Students Receive Recognition and Prizes in End-of-Year Ceremony

As the 2025/26 school year comes to a close, HOPE Home School students studying in the high altitudes of Azad Kashmir participated in an Annual Results Ceremony, complete with prizes for top-performing students. On April 21, 2026, 500 Students gathered together with HOPE's Azad Kashmir Maternal and Child Healthcare Coordinator, Ms. Sanjeeda, as well as our Azad Kashmir Home School Coordinator, Ms. Naila who presided over the ceremony. Students were recognized for their academic achievements and books and supplies were distributed for the upcoming school year.

Books, school supplies, and tuition for students studying at HOPE Formal and Home Schools are sponsored by the generosity of our donors and families living in poverty do not incur these expenses.

HOPE has a strong Educational, Healthcare, and Vocational Training presence in Azad Kashmir.

HOPE's outreach in AJK currently impacts over 2,000 needy families in the region. HOPE has revived the concept of Home Schooling in various remote areas in Pakistan such as AJK, along with urban city neighborhoods and far-flung villages. Home schools engage the communities they serve by employing educated women (whom parents trust) as teachers. Home schools are a cost-effective and innovative solution to addressing the availability of schools barrier that has been overlooked in Pakistan for far too long.

While Azad Kashmir children live amongst breathtaking scenery year-round, their families struggle with meeting basic needs such as Healthcare, Education, and Food Security. The high altitudes at which these families live along with the remoteness of their villages in various mountaintops can pose significant and often life-threatening challenges to the already-burdensome situation of poverty. Political tensions and conflict remain a troublesome reality for families living in contested territories. For over a decade, HOPE has been a prominent interventional aspect of the vitality of Jhelum Valley via our poverty alleviation measures involving Healthcare, Education, Vocational Training, and Food Security .

Much gratitude for your generosity and support!

With Warm Wishes from,

The HOPE USA Team
