Bunyad Foundation's COVID-19 Relief Fund

The global spread of COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on everyone’s life. Daily life – whether it be school, a job or social activity – has now been put on hold for a vast majority of the world, for an indefinite amount of time. While we all feel the impact in different ways, it is the poor that will end up suffering the most. Living in densely populated communities, they are the most vulnerable to the spread of the virus; often depending on daily wages, they are suffering the economic consequences the most; and with little access to government and social services, the situation is becoming worse day by day.

Families need food, now. You can be part of the solution.

In Pakistan, a government-imposed lockdown has jeopardized the livelihood of millions of our 200 million people. The inability to earn a daily wage is making hunger and starvation a horrific reality.

At Bunyad, we maintain our commitment to the communities we serve across Pakistan in this time of need. While we have historically focused on development of educational, health and occupational programs for the rural poor, we have always continued to support the people who suffer the most through periods like this. We see the basic necessities that people need now are no different than the natural disasters that have affected the community in the past. 

This is why we have launched a campaign to let no child and family go hungry because of COVID-19. While this is an ambitious task, our team has already distributed over PKR 4 million of rations, serving over 1,000 families, in rural districts surrounding Lahore, Multan, Rahim Yar Khan, Gujranwala, Sialkot and Hafizabad, and this is just the beginning. With your help, we hope to be able to distribute hundreds, if not thousands, more. 

Each ration box contains rice, oil, sugar, lentils, packaged milk, flour (atta) and Dettol soap and can support an entire family for one month. The box costs around $20 USD, $30 CAD, £17 or PKR 3,500 to produce, and we have a workforce eager to distribute these supplies as soon as possible.


Please help us protect the families that are in dire need of your support. Any donation, big or small, can really make a difference. 

From the entire team at Bunyad, and the communities we support, thank you for your help.
