I am setting up this fundraiser to help families in remote areas of Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan, a place that is very close to my heart. Through personal connections and local knowledge, I have visited many rural areas and met several families living far from the main villages. They are struggling to survive with almost nothing, and are in need of urgent support

These families have next to nothing and face daily challenges just to make ends meet. Their homes are unsafe—some lack proper doors, have weak or broken walls, and provide little protection from harsh weather or animals. In addition to unsafe housing, they are unable to meet their most basic needs. Some have health conditions that are treatable but cannot afford the necessary treatment.

This fundraiser has been created to provide urgent support so these families can live with basic safety, warmth, and dignity. Funds raised will help provide:

These families are not asking for luxury, only the basics that many of us take for granted: a safe place to sleep, food, warmth, and protection for their children and elders. Due to poverty and isolation, they cannot afford these essentials on their own.

Support will be provided directly and locally, and we will share updates and photos so donors can see the real impact of their generosity.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make an immediate difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page.

Thank you for helping families who are quietly struggling. Your generosity can transform unsafe shelters into safer homes, restore hope, and alleviate some of their challenges.
