Our 10+ Years in Pakistan
Serving Communities Across Pakistan
Education
We bring out-of-school children back to the classroom, starting with rural Sindh, where dropout rates are highest, especially for girls. We remove the barriers that keep children out, including:
Enrollment and re-enrollment: helping children who dropped out or never attended school return to class
Learning essentials: school uniforms and supplies so every child can start ready to learn
Family and community engagement: working with parents, teachers, and local education officials to keep children in school
Putting a child back in school is a step towards a brighter future.
Emergency Relief
When disaster strikes, we move quickly to reach families with what they need most. We have responded to annual monsoon landslides and flooding, church fires, and harsh winter emergencies, providing:
Immediate relief: food packages, clothing, and medical care
Safe shelter: tents, and one-to-two-bedroom housing for families who lost their homes
Path to recovery: support transitioning into homes of their own
Providing relief brings hope and security to families facing tremendous losses.
Food Security
Hunger is a daily reality for 11 million people facing acute food insecurity. We respond with food that reaches families facing poverty, to displaced communities, and disaster survivors, including:
Meals and food packages: nourishment for families who have run out of options
Meat packages: fresh meat for families who rarely have it
Rice bags: a staple that stretches across many meals
No family should choose between food and everything else.
Health and Wellness
Our medical services reach underserved and rural communities across Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. We respond quickly and tailor support to each person’s situation including:
Medical care: treatment, eye surgeries, and emergency health grants
Disability support: standard and electric wheelchairs that restore mobility and independence
Access to medical care is a foundation for a healthier, more stable life.
Orphan Care
Every child deserves to grow up knowing they are loved and never alone. We stand beside children who have lost one or both parents, as well as the single mothers fighting to keep their families whole. Through sponsorship, each child receives:
Food and health care: nourishment and treatment to grow strong
Education: a classroom, a future, and the chance to dream bigger
Safe shelter and celebrations: a secure home and moments of joy
A child who loses a parent has not lost their future. With your support, they gain a family.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
We bring clean, safe water to rural communities, especially drought-affected areas and those recovering from disasters. The impact goes beyond water:
Hand pumps and wells: reliable access to clean water close to home
Hygiene and health: protection from waterborne diseases for families and children
Time and opportunity: hours returned to women and girls who once spent them fetching water
Where clean water flows, communities thrive.
Livelihoods
We help women and youth build skills, confidence, and lasting income by pairing practical training with the tools to put it to work, including:
Digital entrepreneurship: training and a one-year online store for women-led businesses
Skills and tools: sewing training and a sewing machine to launch tailoring work
Rural agriculture: kitchen gardening and high-value crop training for women in Chakwal
Career readiness: resume and interview workshops for university students
These skills create independence and a more secure future.
Seasonal Islamic Giving
We deliver food packages, hot meals, and nutritious meat to families in poverty, displaced communities, and disaster survivors when they need it most. Throughout the year, we provide:
Ramadan food packages and warm iftar meals: nourishment for fasting families
Udhiyah meat packages: fresh meat shared with those who cannot afford it
Year-round giving: Aqiqah for newborns, Fidyah for those unable to fast, and Kaffarah for atonement
Every gift is a step toward comfort, dignity, and hope for families in need.
Infrastructure Development
We build the foundations that families and communities depend on, from places of worship and care for children to safe homes for flood survivors. Our work includes:
Mosques: built to serve local communities as places of education and worship
Orphan care: a new orphanage, alongside ongoing support for thousands of orphaned children
Low-income housing: homes for families displaced by flooding
We create stability and a sense of belonging from one person to entire communities.
Stories of Change
Mr. Ilyas Ahmad struggles to provide for his family of eight in remote Azad Kashmir on a modest income. Harsh winters made daily survival especially difficult, leaving his children vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Zakat Foundation of America’s winter relief, warm bedding, and essentials brought comfort, protection, and renewed hope when his family needed it most.
Zainab Mai, a widow caring for her daughters and grandchildren, faced Ramadan with constant worry over food. With no steady income, her family often ate once daily. Zakat Foundation of America’s Ramadan Food Pack lifted that burden, providing nourishment, peace of mind, and the ability to focus on prayer throughout the blessed month.
