💚 Poverty in Pakistan
Poverty in Pakistan remains one of the nation’s greatest challenges. In villages from Punjab to Sindh and mountain areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, millions of families live without stable income, clean water or medical access. Food insecurity, orphan care, and education support are urgent humanitarian needs.
The Kashmir Welfare Foundation provides food packs, widow sponsorships, water wells, hygiene kits, and education support across Pakistan. Each donation helps rebuild lives — from flood-affected communities to drought-hit farmers. Together we can reduce poverty, hunger, and inequality in Pakistan.
“Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Muslim)
Pakistan Country Profile
Stretching from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea, Pakistan spans 881,913 km² of mountains, plains, deserts and coastline. With over 241 million people, it’s the world’s fifth most populous nation — rich in culture, natural beauty, and Islamic heritage.
The national currency, symbolised as PKR, is managed by the State Bank of Pakistan. It is used in all four provinces and regions under federal administration.
A planned modern city located at the foot of the Margalla Hills, Islamabad serves as Pakistan’s political and administrative capital since 1967.
Pakistan is the 33rd largest country by area, bordered by India, Afghanistan, Iran, China, and the Arabian Sea — with terrain ranging from glaciers to deserts.
Home to one of the world’s youngest populations, with over 60% under 30 years old, Pakistan’s demographics reflect vibrant growth and resilience.
The provinces are Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. Federally Administered Territories include Islamabad Capital Territory and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Urdu serves as the national language, while regional languages showcase Pakistan’s cultural diversity and identity across its provinces and communities.

Hadith on Charity
