Poverty is not always caused by a lack of effort — often it is caused by a lack of opportunity. Across Pakistan, thousands of hardworking people are willing to work but have no means to earn a stable income. Rising inflation, unemployment, and limited resources leave families trapped in a cycle of poverty.
At Arsh Foundation, we believe the most sustainable way to fight poverty is by empowering people to earn for themselves.
Through your support, we have already:
Islam strongly encourages earning through honest work and discourages begging when one is able to work.
“It is better for one of you to carry a bundle of wood on his back and sell it than to ask someone for help.”
— Al-Bukhari & Muslim
Arsh Foundation supports vulnerable families by providing income-generating tools that allow them to work independently and sustainably.
Our local teams identify individuals and women who are willing to work but lack resources.
A single food cart or sewing machine can feed a family for years.
Your donation does more than relieve poverty — it ends it.
Donate today and help a family earn with dignity through Livelihood Support.
Your generosity builds independence, hope, and a future.
