Donate Ration Kits in Kashmir
A month's food for a family that has run out. The monthly ration drive is the cause Imdaad Foundation was born from in 1977 — and it remains at the heart of what we do.
About this giving
What is Ration Kits?
Imdaad Foundation began in 1977 as a monthly ration drive for families in distress in Srinagar. Nearly five decades later, providing food to those who cannot afford it remains the cause closest to our roots.
A ration kit contains a household's core monthly staples — rice, flour, cooking oil, pulses, tea, and other essentials — enough to keep a struggling family fed for a month without having to choose between food and other survival needs.
This cause is Zakat-eligible — you can fulfil it from your Zakat. Learn about Zakat.
Who your gift helps
Poor households across Kashmir — widows, the elderly, families of the chronically ill, and those without a steady earner — for whom a full month's ration removes the daily fear of an empty kitchen.
