HFA DASTARKHWAN

Our Aims

DASTARKHWAN

Our aim with Dastarkhwan extends beyond serving meals, it’s about fostering compassion and community by setting up traditional communal tables. Our program unites individuals impacted by food insecurity, offering not just nourishment but a supportive environment, embodying the power of unity and care within our communities.

THE PROBLEM

Uncertainty about next meals

The devastating impact of rising food inflation in Pakistan weighs heavily on hardworking individuals striving to provide for their families. This dire situation not only results in hunger but also hampers children’s education and causes familial challenges. In these challenging times, it is crucial to extend a helping hand and open our tables to those who are unable.
