News & Updates

Explainers and practical guides on the problems we have set out to work on, plus announcements as our programmes begin.

Practical guides on the problems families across Pakistan face — debt, health, education, Zakat, work and emergencies — written for the people facing them.

Each piece is written to be useful on its own, whether or not you ever give us a rupee. Announcements will appear here as programmes actually begin, and they will be dated and specific rather than promotional.
