Assalamu alaikum,

It doesn?t take much to provide the basic services and opportunities that help the families achieve lives of dignity and self-sufficiency.

HDF's 'philosophy of help' is based on the old adage: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime!"

Through our Family Sponsor Program we do not hand out cash, nor do we create a culture of charity or entitlements. Instead, we teach families self-reliance and give them the tools, organizational skills, and access to financial assistance necessary to create small businesses, build schools, provide or basic health care that permanently enable them to build lives of dignity and economic well being.

Would you take a moment to change the life a family in Pakistan through your donation? Ramadan is the time to maximize the 'return' on your donations!

In less than 10 days, we will be entering Ramadan, a fascinating month of blessings, joy, and sharing! This year, please plan for Ramadan, set specific goals to achieve in this month, boost your spirit, and learn more about it on Ramadan Page.

This Ramadan we invite you to help HDF elimate poverty, ignorance, and disease in Pakistan, one person at a time. Please read Dr. Shehnaz Khan's message to you!

Peace,
HDF Team
