Dast-e-Mawakhat
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Akhuwat launched several programs, including the Dast-e-Muakhat Program, which was conceived in collaboration with Akhuwat College Kasur’s Community Service Club. The program aimed at mobilizing students enrolled in various Akhuwat educational institutions, to become active members in mitigating the effects of the virus in their respective communities. These students identified deserving families and then, distributed PKR 2,500 to each family. The program eventually enlisted 831 students, alumni, and teachers and provided financial aid to 4110 families across the country with a total disbursement amount of over 10 million rupees.
2022 Floods Pakistan
Following the devastating 2022 floods in Pakistan, Akhuwat launched a two-phase recovery plan focused on immediate relief and long-term rehabilitation. In the first phase, it provided cash aid, ration packs, clothing, blankets and medical care through transparent, community-based efforts. The second phase supported those who lost homes, businesses, or livelihoods with interest-free loans. This helped families rebuild and restart their lives. Akhuwat's approach addressed both urgent needs and sustainable recovery for affected communities.

Stories of Hope
The rains lasted for about three months. During that time, there were days when it poured relentlessly without pause. One time, we sat under a dripping roof for four consecutive days. The mill I worked at was closed, so we had no source of income. As if that was not enough, the foundation of our house gave way. Then began our days and nights under a tent. I would not wish such hardship on my worst enemy. Thank God, we have now built a stronger home for our family.

I’m a teacher. My eldest son has completed his intermediate studies, while the younger children are still in school. When the floods came their education was disrupted. The entire village was affected. Work ceased and we scrambled to find shelter. Sadly, many houses suffered severe damage including ours that collapsed during the heavy rain. Then, we heard about Akhuwat’s interest-free loans from others in our vicinity. We immediately applied and received the loan to build a new home for ourselves. Thankfully, normalcy has now resumed. I am grateful that my children no longer have to worry about their living conditions. Instead, they can focus on their studies, paving the way for their successful future.
Abdul Aziz, Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Our home stands as a testament to years of painstaking labor. When we first left our village for the city we had nothing of value. For the first few years, we lived with our relatives. I took numerous odd jobs to support our children’s education. Eventually, we moved to a rented house. With the passage of time, my children started working alongside their studies; one became a barber and the other a tailor. The entire family contributed to the family savings. We sold our buffalo and with money and our savings, we purchased a piece of land. On this land, we built our house with great effort and immense love. And when the rains started, witnessing it being ravaged was heart-wrenching. Thankfully, we undid most of the damage and have replaced our mud roof and walls with bricks and cement. The foundation of our house is now as strong as the faith that brought us here.
Muhammad Ramzan, Khairpur, Sindh
It is strange to contemplate that I have outlived all my children. When they passed away years ago, I consoled myself with the belief that they are closer to God, that it was simply His will to call them to Him. I now think this way about most things. The flood was terrible, but I could not have prevented it. The night the waters came, there was chaos all around. People were screaming and scrambling for shelter. My house did not escape the damage either. But with the grace of God and the interest-free loan from Akhuwat, I was able to rebuild.
