Successful Completion of Humanitarian Outreach in Gojal
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our third humanitarian outreach program, which took place on April 15, 2025, in the remote and high-altitude valleys of Gojal, Gilgit-Baltistan. This initiative focused on providing wheelchairs to persons with disabilities and sewing machines to economically disadvantaged and widowed women—enabling access to mobility and sustainable livelihoods in one of the northernmost and most underserved parts of the region.
This marks a significant step forward for Gojal, representing one of the first comprehensive aid distributions of its kind in the area. By promoting self-reliance and restoring dignity, our mission is to uplift individuals often left behind in broader development efforts.
Regional Assessment: Accessibility and Road Infrastructure
Despite Gojal’s breathtaking scenery and rich cultural heritage, the region continues to face substantial challenges in terms of accessibility. Many roads remain unpaved and are frequently blocked due to landslides or severe weather, particularly in the upper valleys. Reaching communities such as Passu, Hussaini, and Shimshal required extensive coordination and the dedication of local volunteers. These logistical hurdles further underscore the urgent need for long-term investment in infrastructure and regional connectivity.
Building Momentum Across Gilgit-Baltistan
This outreach in Gojal followed two earlier programs:
April 10, 2025 – Gahkuch, Punial, and Ishkoman: where we provided similar assistance to vulnerable groups.
April 12, 2025 – Yasin, Gupis, and Phandar: extending the same support in equally remote and infrastructure-poor areas.
Together, these three back-to-back initiatives represent a growing movement to promote social inclusion, address systemic inequities, and bring dignity and opportunity to those in hard-to-reach regions.
Appreciation for Our Partners and Supporters
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Your trust, generosity, and unwavering support are the foundation of these impactful efforts. Without you, none of this would be possible.
As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our mission to bring equity, accessibility, and hope to every corner of Gilgit-Baltistan. Plans are already underway for future initiatives to build on this momentum and reach even more communities in need.
