Work: KindHearts is Providing Earthquake Relief
Aid to Many Thousands of Survivors through Coordination with
Our Partners.
*US Delegation Visited Various Affected Areas:
The Delegation included KindHearts’ president, Br. Khaled
Smaili, and KindHearts’ Head of South Asia Division, Dr.
Zulfiqar Ali Shah, as well as a group of volunteer doctors
from the US. KindHearts' representatives visited the damaged
areas in Nelum Valley, Jehlum Valley, Muzaffarabad, Garli
Dopatta, Garhi Habibullah, Balakot, Mansehra, Abbodabad, and
tent villages in Islamabad.
* 868 Trucks Delivered Emergency Relief Supplies:
Along with our partner, Al-Khidmat Foundation, 868 trucks
filled with tents, blankets, warm clothing, and food items
have been dispatched to Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, Bagh, Balakot,
Mansehra, and Abbodabad.
* 20,000 Earthquake Survivors are Being Fed by KindHearts:
During Ramadan, daily Iftar was provided to these families.
Additionally, many also received 'Eid Gifts during 'Eid al-Fitr.
* Tent Village in Balakot: KindHearts has
established an entire tent village with 103 tents that each
house from six to eight family members on the outskirts of
Balakot on the banks of Kumhar River. These accommodations
are provided free of charge, and include a fully established
infrastructure such as water supply, sanitation, and kitchens.
In this environment secured by Pakistani police, the inhabitants
also receive necessary medical aid.
* Storage of Food and Relief Supplies: Along
with our partner Al-Khidmat Foundation, KindHearts has established
storage facilities of food and relief supplies in Abbotabad,
Mansehra, Bala Kot, and Muzaffarabad.
* 1,000 Orphans to Be Sponsored: Our
delegation met with Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shaukat Aziz,
who briefed them on the situation and promised to facilitate
KindHearts' work—especially our goal to sponsor 1,000 orphans.
Our local representative, Br. Ehsan Ilahy, is currently
collecting information about children who have lost one or
both of their parents, especially those from the remote
northern area of Pakistan. The portfolios of these orphans
will be available soon.
* Establishing Fiberglass Houses for Homeless Families:
Because tents are not suitable shelters in extremely cold
weather, KindHearts has teamed up with Sahara for Life Foundation
to provide earthquake victims with stable fiberglass houses.
KindHearts has already sponsored 100 houses, and we are working
to provide more as funds become available.
* Brick Houses for Large Families: Since
the fiberglass houses are too small for bigger families, KH
has teamed up with Junaid Jumshed, and the former Pakistan
Cricket Team Captain, Saeed Anwar, to provide larger brick
houses for families with more than eight members. Initially,
KindHearts is sponsoring 100 brick houses. This number will
be expanded as more financial resources become available.
* $500,000 Worth of Medical Supplies and Medicines
Provided: KindHearts has been able to provide various
hospitals and mobile clinics in Bagh, Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot,
Mansehra and Dhirkot with medicines and medical supplies.
* Sponsorship of Patients at Al-Shifa Hospital:
Our delegation met with Dr. Zahir, the president of Al-Shifa
Hospital, where we are in the process of establishing a sponsorship
program for those patients who are badly injured, especially
needy children.
