Protecting the Vulnerable from the Cold
In the mountainous and rural regions of Pakistan, winter is not just a season—it is a struggle for survival. For families living in makeshift shelters, tents, or damaged homes, a drop in temperature can be life-threatening. Without adequate warmth, children and the elderly are at extreme risk of pneumonia, hypothermia, and other cold-weather illnesses.
At Haidury Education & Welfare Trust, our Emergency Winter Relief programme provides the warmth needed to endure the harshest months. We issue grants to provide high-quality blankets, warm clothing, and heating supplies to those who cannot afford to protect themselves from the freezing cold.
“A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim… whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens of the Day of Judgment.”
Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2580
