At the Kashmir Welfare Foundation, we believe that even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change. For families in Azad Kashmir, your support is not just a donation. It is survival, dignity, and hope for the future. Every pound from our UK donors carries more than financial value. It carries love, faith, and a powerful connection to home.
Here are the six main campaigns that are changing lives across Kashmir, thanks to your generosity.
💷 Gift Aid adds 25% extra at no cost to you.
Education in Kashmir: Building Bright Futures
Education is the bridge that carries a child from poverty to opportunity. Yet in many parts of Kashmir, children still study in broken classrooms or are forced to leave school early because their parents cannot afford books or fees.
Take Ayesha, a young orphan from Muzaffarabad. Her father passed away in an accident, leaving her mother struggling to put food on the table. Through our Sponsor an Orphan programme, Ayesha now attends school every day. She dreams of becoming a doctor, determined to give back to her community.
This is the power of your donations. They do not just build schools or buy books, they build futures.
👉 Give a child like Ayesha the gift of education today through our Sponsor an Orphan project.
Healthcare in Kashmir: Saving Lives Every Day
For a widow like Shazia from Bhimber, healthcare is not about convenience, it is about life and death. Her husband died from kidney failure because dialysis was too far away and private treatment was unaffordable. Today, she relies on the free medical camps funded by your donations.
Through our Healthcare for Everyone campaign, we run mobile hospital units, sponsor patients, and provide urgent medical aid in remote areas. Every time you give Zakat or Sadaqah, you are helping families like Shazia’s face tomorrow with hope instead of fear.
👉 Support life-saving care through our Medical Campaigns.
Empowering Women in Kashmir: Strengthening Communities
In the valleys of Poonch, Laiba, a young woman, completed our three-month sewing course. With the sewing machine we provided, she now stitches 8–10 suits per week. Her father, a tired labourer earning only 2,000 rupees a day, can finally rest knowing his daughter is helping to provide for the family.
Our Empowering Women campaign gives widows and young women vocational training, microloans, and the tools to build livelihoods. By lifting women, we lift entire families out of the cycle of poverty.
👉 Help us empower more women through our Empower Lives Campaign.
Clean Water Initiative: Wells That Last Generations
Imagine sending your child to fetch water, knowing the river is polluted and unsafe. This is the painful reality for many families in rural Kashmir. Thanks to your donations, we have built water wells, filtration systems, and hand pumps that provide clean water for generations.
Every drop is a shield against disease. Every well is a gift of life.
👉 Give the gift of clean water through our Water Projects.
Disaster Relief: Standing Strong in Times of Crisis
When floods destroy homes in Bagh or an earthquake shakes Muzaffarabad, families lose everything in seconds. Our Disaster Relief Campaign responds immediately with food, shelter, and medical care. But we also go beyond survival, helping families rebuild their lives with dignity.
As we approach the anniversary of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, we remember the importance of being prepared. Your support allows us to build an emergency fund, so that when disaster strikes again, we can save lives without delay.
👉 Support resilience in Kashmir through our Emergency Relief Project.
Environmental Conservation: Protecting Kashmir’s Beauty
Kashmir is known as paradise on earth, yet its forests are thinning, and its rivers are under threat. Through your donations, we have planted thousands of trees under our Green Kashmir Campaign. Projects like “1 Million Trees” and “Drakht Lagao, Talaab Banao” bring shade, clean air, and protection against landslides.
This is not just about the environment. It is about leaving behind a safe, green homeland for the children of tomorrow.
👉 Plant hope for future generations through our Green Kashmir Campaign.
Your Donations Matter
Every widow who finds strength, every orphan who learns to dream, every family that drinks clean water, every patient who gets treatment — all of it begins with you.
Your Zakat, Sadaqah, and Regular Giving are more than charity. They are lifelines. They are a message of solidarity from the UK diaspora to the people of Kashmir: You are not forgotten.
