Organization Name: Rizq
Cycle Number: 3
Families Enrolled: 100
Area: Miskeen Colony
The area has a diverse ethnicity (Pakhtuns and Punjabis) with Christians as the core population. Throughout their entire lives/history, these people with conflicting beliefs and cultures have held onto each other and lived together in peace simply because they couldn’t afford to lose their unity. They have been neglected throughout successive governments and the onslaught from various government departments/ institutions has pulled these people together and driven them to change their condition themselves. The workers from these informal mud-brick settlements largely work in blue-collar jobs as maids, plumbers, sanitation workers, and daily wagers, living on modest salaries. Woefully/ unfortunately, many of these families are facing the very real threat of starvation due to economic fissures/cracks deepened by the COVID-19 pandemic. To help in the plight of our Christian brethren, Rizq has established its foodbank in Miskeen Colony and has incubated 50 local families up till now, providing them subsidized food assistance so they can live their lives with dignity during these trying times. Aiming to expand our operations to cover a greater region, we call on you to assist us in this glorious mission to restore humanity!
