01
Education
School kits, community learning programmes and awareness campaigns in remote and underprivileged areas. A child who cannot afford a bag and books usually stops attending long before anyone notices.
Our work
Help that keepspaying back
Four areas of work, chosen because each one changes what a family can do next year rather than only this week.
Four areas
What we actually do
Each area was chosen because it changes what a family can do next year, not only this week.
02
Health
Access to basic treatment and clean water for communities with no nearby facility. In Tharparkar, a working water point removes the single largest daily burden a household carries.
03
Food
Ration distribution for families in need, with seasonal campaigns during Ramadan and the coldest weeks of winter, when both need and cost rise together.
04
Livelihoods
Assets that generate income, so support becomes independence rather than a repeat visit. A rickshaw handed to the right family ends their need for aid entirely.
Project Noor
Assets, not handouts
Project Noor is the name we give to the work that hands a family something lasting. Rickshaws that turn into a daily income. Warm jackets before the Thar winter. Eid gifts for children who would otherwise go without. Solar-powered water points that keep running after we leave.
Every proposal is tested against one question: what would still be helping this family six months from now?
Case study
The Diplo water project
In Diplo, Tharparkar, a settlement was walking a long distance for water of uncertain quality. We installed a solar-powered tank with taps at ground level, built as sadaqah jariyah for the late Asad Mahmood.
It needs no fuel, no grid connection and no delivery schedule. The photograph shows children drinking from it on the day it opened.

How we choose
Three tests, every time
Is anyone else reaching them?
We prioritise settlements and households that sit outside the range of larger organisations.
Will it still be working next year?
Recurring relief has its place, but an asset that removes the need for relief is worth more.
Can we verify it ourselves?
If we cannot visit it, photograph it and account for it, we do not fund it.
