PROJECT SMILES BY TEAM STEPPING AHEAD

According to the latest census (1998), in a population of 132.4million, there were 2.7 million widows in the female population of 69 million. Now, after two decades, these statistics have risen massively. Despite all the awareness regarding human rights and especially that of women, widows in Pakistan are still living under unfortunately miserable circumstances. Being highly marginalized, they are deprived of the basic necessities of life such as food and shelter. After their husband’s death, majority of women do not have support of their parents, siblings, relatives and are forced to raise their children in harsh conditions, barely making ends meet. The COVID-19 Pandemic has led to severe economic crisis all over, specially for underprivileged ones. The alarming uncertainty of food and resources exists among almost every age group in Pakistan. Therefore Project Smiles by Team Stepping Ahead has taken on this initiative to provide 6-month ration packages to the widows in need. Through this project, we aim to ease the misery of these women by arranging ration packs consisting of the basic food items for at least a period of 6 months. Due to the repeated emphasis of helping the needy and poor in Islam, we urge you to become a part of this project and donate generously for this noble cause. Your help can bring huge changes in the lives of the ones in destitute. We believe that eradicating hunger is literally within our grasp and each one of us has the power to bring change. Please step forward with Team Stepping Ahead for widows in their struggle for life and show solidarity to them by donating generously. For the reward of this kindness is eternally magnificient!
