Keep the Kashmir Ambulance Running
Our ambulance operates daily — saving lives from road accidents, remote villages, and mountain emergencies. The running cost is £10 per day or £300 per month. Your help keeps it active for those who have nowhere else to turn.
🚑 Donate Now💚 Poverty in Neelum
Neelum’s beauty hides its isolation. Winter snows, avalanches and landslides often cut off entire valleys. When roads close, daily-wage earners can’t work, medicines don’t arrive, and poor families run out of food. Many homes are still built in high-risk slopes because families simply can’t afford safer land.
Your sadaqah helps us pre-position winter packs, support orphans, and get emergency aid into these hard-to-reach villages before the roads close. It is lifeline work — and we can only do it with you.
“The most merciful people are those who feel the pain of those far away.”
— Community saying, Neelum Valley

Establish Waqf🏔️ Neelum District – Area Profile
Neelum District, the “Blue Gem of Kashmir,” stretches along the Neelum River from Muzaffarabad to Taobutt near the Line of Control. It is known for its alpine forests, turquoise rivers and scenic meadows — but also for the isolation and vulnerability its people face each winter.
📍 Location & Demographics
- Northernmost district of Azad Kashmir
- Area: ~3,700 km²
- Population (2017): ~191,200
- Headquarters: Athmuqam
- Tehsils: Athmuqam, Sharda, Kel
- Languages: Kashmiri, Shina, Gojri, Pahari & Urdu
🌲 Geography & Climate

🏛️ History & Administration
Once a trade route to Gilgit and Kashmir Valley, Neelum became a separate district in 2005 after being part of Muzaffarabad. The 2005 earthquake reshaped its settlements and access roads. Border tensions have also affected many villages near the Line of Control, forcing internal migration during times of conflict.
📚 Education & Development
Despite its remoteness, Neelum has one of AJK’s highest literacy rates. However, infrastructure gaps are huge — schools, hospitals, and markets are often separated by hours of travel through hazardous roads. Tourism offers promise, but locals need sustainable opportunities and climate-resilient facilities.
⚠️ Challenges Facing Neelum District
The district’s beauty hides its hardship — communities endure harsh winters, road blockages, cross-border shelling, and a fragile local economy.
Winter Isolation
Heavy snowfall cuts off entire valleys, leaving families without access to food or medicine for weeks.
Landslides & Avalanches
Frequent landslides damage roads and bridges, halting aid and tourism.
Water & Sanitation
Many villages rely on natural springs with limited access to clean water infrastructure.
Education Access
Remote schools close for months in winter; girls’ education especially affected.
Border Instability
Border tensions have displaced families and restricted agricultural activity near the LoC.
