In many parts of Azad Kashmir, families face daily struggles due to poverty, conflict, and lack of resources. Without access to education, income opportunities, or safe housing, the cycle of hardship continues from one generation to the next. This is our chance to Empower Lives!
At Kashmir Welfare Foundation, we believe in long-term solutions, not just temporary aid. Our Empower Lives initiative is designed to create lasting change, helping families and communities stand on their own feet with dignity and hope.
By supporting our work, you can help provide income generation tools, safe homes, widow and orphan support, youth empowerment programs, and more, transforming lives for generations to come.
🌍 Our Vision: Building Self-Sufficient Communities
The best way to fight poverty is through empowerment. When a family has the tools and resources to sustain themselves, they gain independence, security, and pride.
Through your Zakat, Sadaqah, and Sadaqah Jariya, we deliver sustainable projects that address both urgent needs and long-term solutions. Together, we can create communities that are strong, resilient, and filled with opportunity.
💼 Income Generation Projects – Breaking Poverty Through Opportunity
One of the most powerful ways to lift families out of poverty is by providing sustainable sources of income.
Our Income Generation Projects fund small businesses such as:
- Fruit and vegetable stalls to earn a steady, halal income.
- Sewing machines to empower women with tailoring skills and financial independence.
- Rickshaws for reliable transportation services.
These projects give families financial stability, reduce reliance on charity, and restore dignity through meaningful work.
Our Income Generation Programme helps families start small, sustainable businesses that align with their skills and local resources. From sewing machines and grocery stalls to livestock or small trades, these are lifelines, not just handouts.
