Hidaya is raising funds for the purpose of supporting the soaring number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) as a result of the turmoil in Northern Pakistan.

Since August 2008, there has been conflict and fighting in Pakistan’s northwestern region. According to some reports, over 1 million people have now fled from the impacted areas in search of safety.  Having home and shelter is something one takes for granted; people are running for their lives clutching a few possessions. The agonies suffered by those who may now have to beg for bread can never be fully comprehended. There will be a massive need for food and shelter for the survival of these internally displaced people impacted by this unfortunate set of events.

Hidaya is in constant touch with its team members in Pakistan and will provide updates on its website on the course of action it will take in the coming days.

Hidaya is accepting Zakat and Sadaqah funds for this project.  In-kind donations  such as (medicines and medical supplies, traditional Pakistani dresses, shoes, pots/pans, toys and school supplies for children in camps, etc.) can also be given.
