Strong Reason to Support Alkhidmat
You're sitting at your home. It's a normal day. Perhaps you are watching TV alongside cooking dinner. All of a sudden, the sofa that you are perched on starts vibrating. As does the table in front of you. You look around and see that the entire room is shaking uncontrollably. It's an earthquake. Within the span of a few minutes everything that you knew has been reduced to rubble. Only destruction greets your eyes as far as the sight can go. Buildings, streets, even lives...all destroyed. It was just a normal weekday and now? You don't even know what to grieve for first.
Everything and everyone around is in shambles, would you expect your fellow human beings to step up and come to your aid? Would every second that you had to wait for that aid be excruciating? Yes. You'd be desperate for immediate help.
And that's exactly when organizations like Alkhidmat step in. If everyone around ends up taking leisurely steps to help those struck by disaster then who will help that man who is bleeding profusely or that woman with no roof over her head? Can they really afford a long wait for our help? When disaster strikes, someone must stand up and give a rapid response time to time. Alkhidmat has acted efficiently and provided help to victims of disasters whether that was the recent 2022 Pakistan flood or the 2005 earthquake in Kashmir.
The organization has headlined many rescue and relief operations in the wake of such calamities. Alkhidmat,after identifying needs on the ground, is targeting a few key areas that need to be addressed in the aftermath of a disaster. This includes but isn't limited to, providing shelter homes to the victims, delivering ration packages, preparing volunteers etc. So far, Alkhidmat has managed to set up over 52,818 shelter homes, delivered 121,510 ration packages to those in need, conducted 76 training workshops and set up 31 response hubs.
Furthermore, even if you aren't physically going out there as a volunteer of Alkhidmat, you can still contribute towards their disaster management segment through your donations. You can donate towards aspects like volunteer training, response centers amongst others.
It is said that "The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something great". Alkhidmat is an organization that has taken it upon themselves to be the change. Rather than sit on the side-lines and watch, they have chosen to take action by repeatedly providing their services to those that have fallen. Hence dedicating their time and efforts to the wellbeing of society and humanity.
