How can my donation keep families in Pakistan warm this winter?

This winter, families across Pakistan are facing freezing nights with little more than damaged shelters and fading hope. In flood-hit villages and snow-covered valleys, parents struggle to keep their children warm.

Through the Humanity Care Relief Pakistan Winter Appeal, your donation provides blankets, food packs, heating fuel, and warm clothing, helping families survive the cold weather and rebuild their lives with dignity.

When Winter Hits Harder Than Before

For millions of Pakistanis, winter has become a second disaster. Families already living in poverty now face the cold without protection, food, or proper homes.

39.4% of the population lives below the national poverty line, unable to afford basic necessities like heating and insulation. (World Bank)
Nearly 40% of children under five suffer from stunted growth, leaving them especially vulnerable to cold-related illness. (UNICEF)
Over 1,000 deaths were caused by recent floods.
2 million people remain displaced, and more than 12,500 homes were damaged.

In northern regions, freezing winds cut through fragile shelters. Parents burn scraps of wood and plastic just to keep their children alive through the night.

Your support through the Pakistan Winter Appeal brings winter relief providing warmth, food, and hope when families need it most.

Whoever saves one life – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.
(Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:32)

After the Floods: Struggling to Rebuild in the Cold

Months after the floods, many families are still trying to recover. Their homes were washed away, their crops destroyed, and their savings gone. They now live in makeshift shelters, mud walls and plastic sheets that offer no insulation against the cold.

As temperatures drop, children shiver in damp clothing, and elderly people fall ill. In these conditions, even a simple heater, a blanket, or a food pack becomes a lifeline.

That’s why the Pakistan Winter Appeal is part of HCR’s Emergency Appeals, ensuring that help doesn’t end with the floods. Your kindness today brings both immediate relief and a step toward rebuilding lives.

Stories from Pakistan: Strength in the Cold

In Sindh, flood survivors are still sleeping under open skies. In Balochistan and the northern hills, families face biting winds that pierce through torn tents.

Yet amid this hardship, the people’s resilience shines through. Mothers share what little they have, children smile when they receive new clothes, and neighbours help each other rebuild.

Your donation keeps that hope alive. When you give to the Pakistan Winter Appeal, you send a message of solidarity and compassion — reminding families they are not alone in their struggle.

“The most beloved of people to Allah are those who bring the most benefit to others.”
(Sunan al-Kubra, Hadith 19049)
