Who We Are | Kashmir Welfare Foundation’s Mission & Work

A Note from our Chair

Imagine being a young girl in Kashmir, walking miles each day under the hot sun, carrying heavy clay pots full of water for your family. Every step is a struggle, but you can’t stop. Your family depends on you. This was the reality for many women in Kashmir… including my mother.

Even today, whenever my mother talks about her childhood, her eyes fill with tears. As she reflects on her journey through the valleys of Kashmir, her voice holds both pride and pain. Yet, amidst the hardship, she speaks of how her community always came together. “We didn’t have much, but we had each other.” Those words have stayed with us, shaping our values of family, resilience, and compassion.

We are not alone in this— the founders of Kashmir Welfare Foundation share similar stories, having grown up listening to our mothers and grandmothers. This is where the idea for the Kashmir Welfare Foundation was born.

As British Kashmiris born in the UK, we may not have witnessed our mothers’ struggles firsthand, but we grew up with their stories of pain and perseverance. As second-generation Kashmiris, we are now equipped with the resources to make a lasting change and to transform the future for those who face the same struggles our mothers once did.

Inspired by our mothers’ strength and the sacrifices of generations before us, we launched this charity to honor their legacy by making a real difference in Kashmir. Our mission is simple: provide food, water, healthcare, and education to those in need.

By supporting Kashmir Welfare Foundation, you’re not just donating—you are helping carry forward a legacy of love and hope. Together, we can build a brighter future for Kashmir, just as our parents and grandparents dreamed.

Finally, to all our mothers, grandmothers, and sisters who faced hardship in Kashmir, we dedicate this charity to you. Your stories inspired us to take action, and we hope and pray that we can create a more promising future for the people of Kashmir than the one you left behind.

Our Purpose

At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, we don’t just provide aid—we transform lives. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty in Kashmir by creating real, lasting change.

We believe that every child deserves an education, every family deserves food on their table, and no one should suffer due to lack of medical care. That’s why we’re building schools, funding healthcare, providing clean water, and creating opportunities for struggling families to earn a living.

This isn’t just charity—it’s a lifeline. A chance for families to stand on their own feet and a future filled with hope, dignity, and resilience.

From Crisis To Compassion

Why Kashmir?

At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, our heart beats for Kashmir because it is one of the most neglected regions in the world. Decades of conflict, poverty, and lack of infrastructure have left communities without basic necessities like education, healthcare, and clean water.

We believe in focused impact—changing lives where help is most desperately needed. Kashmir is not just a place—it’s our responsibility. By dedicating ourselves fully to this region, we ensure long-term, sustainable solutions rather than short-term fixes.

Every donation, every project, and every effort is carefully designed to lift families out of poverty for good, making Kashmir Welfare Foundation a true force of change for the people who need it most.
