💚 Poverty in Muzaffarabad
Muzaffarabad still carries the wounds of the 2005 earthquake. Many families rebuilt whatever they could, but poverty, unsafe housing and landslide-prone hillsides keep them vulnerable. Seasonal rains can cut off whole mohallas from hospitals and markets, pushing daily-wage families deeper into hardship.
Your donation helps us reinforce homes, supply food packs, support widows and keep emergency medical access alive for poor families in the capital district. When disasters strike again, these families should not face them alone.
“Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship of this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship on the Day of Judgement.”
— Muslim

Establish Waqf🏔️ Muzaffarabad District – Area Profile
Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu & Kashmir, sits at the confluence of the Neelum and Jhelum rivers — surrounded by steep Himalayan foothills. It is the region’s political, cultural and administrative heart, yet remains one of the most disaster-prone districts due to its location on major fault lines.
📍 Location & Demographics
- Northern AJK — borders Neelum and Hattian Bala
- Area: ~1,642 km²
- Population (2017): ~650,400
- Headquarters: Muzaffarabad City
- Tehsils: Muzaffarabad, Nasirabad, Pattika
- Languages: Pahari, Hindko, Kashmiri & Urdu
🌄 Geography & Climate
- Located at the meeting of Neelum & Jhelum rivers
- Elevation: ~730–2,300 m above sea level
- Mountainous terrain with deep valleys and river gorges

🏛️ History & Administration
Muzaffarabad has been a historic crossroads between the Kashmir Valley and northern Punjab for centuries. Named after Sultan Muzaffar Khan, it grew into a strategic trade hub and later the capital of Azad Jammu & Kashmir in 1947. The district suffered immense devastation in the 2005 earthquake, which reshaped its infrastructure and emergency planning.
📚 Education & Development
Home to the University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and multiple colleges, Muzaffarabad has the region’s best educational institutions. However, rural literacy and access lag behind urban areas. Reconstruction after the 2005 quake has improved schools, but healthcare and sanitation remain unevenly distributed.
⚠️ Challenges Facing Muzaffarabad District
Despite being the capital, Muzaffarabad faces high seismic risk, rapid unplanned urbanisation and fragile road infrastructure connecting surrounding valleys.
Earthquake Vulnerability
Located on a seismic fault line — major quakes in 2005 and 2019 caused widespread destruction.
Flood & Landslide Risk
Heavy rains swell rivers and cause frequent landslides, isolating rural settlements.
Urban Pressure
Rapid population growth strains housing, waste systems, and clean water supply.
Emergency Access
Mountain roads and narrow bridges make disaster response slow and challenging.
Rural Poverty
Uplift remains uneven, with remote areas lacking healthcare and stable employment.
