Food Assistance Programme-1 Distribution In Kashmir, India During The Year 2025

During the year 2025, Care World had the privilege of serving underprivileged families across various districts of the Kashmir division. With generous funding from the funding partner, we successfully distributed 4,636 Food Packs to impoverished and needy individuals, aiming to alleviate their burden during this period. This initiative spanned across six major districts of Kashmir: Srinagar, Budgam, Pulwama, Kulgam, Ganderbal, and Bandipora.

Purpose of the Initiative

is a time of reflection, self-discipline, and increased generosity. However, for many underprivileged families in Kashmir, putting food on the table during this period remains a daily challenge. Recognizing this need, Care World, with the support of the funding partner, undertook a large-scale food pack distribution to ensure that hundreds of families had sufficient food to observe without distress. The objective was to support families struggling with poverty, hunger, and lack of resources, allowing them to observe with dignity and ease.
