Support Families of Ismaili Volunteers Who Lost Their Lives

On August 11 2025, tragedy struck in Danyore, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Eight dedicated Ismaili volunteers were working selflessly to restore a vital water channel for their community when disaster claimed their lives.

We remember and honor:

Adam Ali – Student, full of potential and dreams for the future.

Afaq Alam – Student, passionate about serving his community.

Azur Khan – Father to 5 daughters, the sole provider for his family.

Naik Alam – Father to 2 children, working tirelessly to support them.

Azhar-ud-din – Newly married just two months ago, with a life ahead of him.

Dildar Hussain – Father to 4 children, devoted to both family and service.

Piyar Ali – Married, with no children, always ready to volunteer when needed.

Abdul Karim- Married, with three children.

They were not just volunteers; they were fathers, sons, brothers the sole breadwinners of their families. In serving others, they made the ultimate sacrifice.

Today, their loved ones face unimaginable grief and financial hardship. By coming together, we can ensure these families are not left alone in their struggle.
