HOPE Distributes Food to 500+ Needy People

By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

HOPE Distributes Biryani to 500+ Needy People in Urban Slum Districts of Karachi

Happy Thanksgiving ! This Week, the HOPE Team Distributed Biryani to Over 500 Needy Individuals, Mainly Children and Women ‍ in the Urban Slum Areas of Karachi Known as Korangi 100 and Bilal Colony.

At a Time Where Food Scarcity is High in Pakistan, and Many Poor People Can Barely Afford Even a Simple Meal , the HOPE Team Made an Effort to Spread Smiles to Those Who Face Hunger on a Daily Basis.

Distribution of Biryani Took Place in Very Poor Neighborhoods in Karachi Known as Korangi 100 and Bilal Colony. HOPE Has a Strong Presence in Both of These Districts Via the Establishment of Maternal ‍and Child Health Centers and Home Schools to Provide Health and Education Services to the Poor.

Overall, HOPE Provides Health , Education , Vocational Training , Clean Water , Disaster Relief , Ramadan Activities , and Qurbani to 800,000 Underserved People Annually. 70% of Our Beneficiaries are Women ‍ and Children .

Thank You to All Our Supporters Who Make These Endeavors Possible!

Warm Regards,

The HOPE USA Team

HOPE Debuts 3/3 Maternal & Child Health Center

By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

We Are Excited to Share With You the Debut of Yusuf Foundation's Third Maternal ‍and Child Center in Muzaffargarh, Pakistan ! Please Copy and Paste the Following URL into Your Browser to Enjoy the Accompanying Video .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io2PW03mDwc

During the Course of 2022/2023, The HOPE Team Has Been Hard at Work Fulfilling the Vision of Yusuf Foundation.

Yusuf Foundation Has Joined Hands With HOPE to Construct Three Maternal ‍& Child Health Centers in Rural and Remote Villages in Pakistan .

As a Developing Country, Pakistan Has Disproportionately High Maternal and Infant Mortality Rates.

This is Due to High Poverty Rates of 25% to 40% Combined with a Lack of Government-Sponsored Health Facilities for the Poor. Even if Government- Sponsored Facilities Do Exist, They are Few in Number and the Quality of Care is Often Subpar .

In Rural and Remote Areas of Pakistan , Maternal ‍ and Infant Mortality Rates are Substantially Higher Than in Developed, Urban Areas .

Underserved Communities Rely Heavily Upon Non-Governmental Organizations Such as HOPE to Provide Basic Healthcare and Educational Needs.

Constructing a Healthcare Facility Which Offers Free/Nominal Cost Services To Rural Villagers Can Have an Immediate and Lasting Impact Upon Saving Lives .

Over the Course of 1.5 Years , Yusuf Foundation Has Partnered With HOPE to Establish Three MCHCs :

Garhi Habibullah, KPK (Inaugurated April 2023)

Mansehra, KPK (Launched September 2023)

And Last, But Not Least, Muzaffargarh, Punjab (Debuted October 2023)

All of Yusuf Foundation's MCHC's , Including Muzaffargarh, Are Equipped to Handle Normal and Cesarean Births, Essentially Making Them Mini-Hospitals .

In Pakistan , 33% of Maternal ‍ Deaths and 80% of Infant Deaths Are Preventable .

Each of Yusuf Foundation's MCHCs Will Provide Free Healthcare to Over 20,000 Villagers Annually.

We are Eternally Grateful to Yusuf Foundation For Generously Sponsoring Construction and Operational Costs ‍ for Three MCHCs in Underserved Villages in Pakistan .

Together , We Can Endeavor ‍ to Save the Lives of Mothers ‍ and Infants and Reduce Maternal and Infant Mortality in Pakistan .

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team

UAE Supporters Sponsor HOPE Hospital Equipment

By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

Recently, HOPE Dubai Supporters Came to Our Rescue and Generously Contributed Funds Towards Updating Our Zia Colony Facilities with a New Ultrasound Machine and Hemoglobinometer for the Hospital , Along With a Water Cooler for Our Formal School !

Zia Colony is a Disadvantaged Urban Slum Area Located Within Karachi, Pakistan with a Population of 100,000. It is also Home to HOPE's Oldest Facilities to Uplift ‍the Poor Population in that area: a Hospital and Formal School , Both Established in 2002.

HOPE’s Hospital in Zia Colony is the Only Facility in the Area which Treats Obstetric Complications and Emergencies for the Underserved Population, all for Free/Nominal Cost . It is a 50 Bedded Hospital with 24/7 Emergency Services which Treats Approximately 200,000 Cases Per Year. Our Patients are Mainly Women‍and Children As Well as Victims of Industrial or Traffic Accidents . Each year, Zia Colony Hospital Performs 15,000 Ultrasounds and Welcomes 3,000 Babies and Out of Those, 500 are given Life-Saving Neonatal Treatment.

HOPE's Formal School in Zia Colony Provides 800 Disadvantaged Children per year with a Quality Education for Free/Nominal Cost. Zia Colony's Students Range from Preschool to High School Levels . The Curriculum at Zia Colony is Well-Rounded and Students Participate in Sports , Art Competitions , and Field Trips . Students at Zia Colony Have Been Consistently Passing their High School Board Exams With Flying Colors and Are Provided the Necessary Foundation to Go On to Become Role Models in their Community.

Zia Colony Hospital's New Ultrasound Machine Will Benefit 20,000 Women ‍Annually While the Hemoglobinometer Will Provide Blood Analysis to 25,000 Poor People Annually. The Water Cooler for Zia Colony Formal School Will Serve 800 Students Per Year.

The HOPE Team Would Like to Take a Moment to Thank Our Dedicated Group of Supporters in UAE for their Extremely Generous Contributions Towards these Urgent Needs. We are so Grateful for Your Magnanimous Gestures Which Will Enable Us to Continue Our Poverty Alleviation Work in Zia Colony As Well as Other Disadvantaged Areas Throughout Pakistan !

If Anyone is Interested in Contributing Towards Sadaqa Jaariyah (Perpetual Charity) Causes and Investing in Healthcare for the Needy, We Are Still Urgently in Need of Replacing Hospital Equipment for Our Other Healthcare Facilities:

Currently, We Need to Replace our Cardiotocography Machine (10 years old) As Well As Purchase a New Cardiac Monitor for Zia Colony Hospital.

We Also Need to Purchase Four Total Ultrasound Machines for Our New Maternal & Child Health Centers in the Northern Areas of Pakistan (Azad Kashmir, Garhi Habibullah, Mansehra, and Muzaffargarh).

The Total Cost for the Hospital Equipment We Need to Replace is $10,000 - Please Contact Us at hopeusa@hope-ngo.com if You Would Like to Contribute Towards These Causes for the Poor.

Thank You Once Again to Our UAE Supporters As Well as All Our Donors Who Enable Us to Continue to Provide Disadvantaged Communities in Pakistan With Poverty Alleviation Measures.

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA Team
