In the digital age, freedom of information and the right to access to this information has taken on new dimensions&mdash;both empowering citizens and creating complex challenges.

Artificial intelligence both enhances and complicates the freedom of information. While the internet offers powerful tools to access and share knowledge, it also presents new risks to privacy, accuracy, and equity. The challenge for societies is to harness digital advancements to strengthen democratic access to information while guarding against their misuse.

On this World Press Freedom Day, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan stands as a beacon of empowerment, illustrating how information and education can transform lives. Through its flagship &quot;Bano Qabil&quot; initiative, Alkhidmat is equipping Pakistan&#39;s youth with essential IT skills, fostering self-reliance, and contributing to the nation&#39;s digital future. &nbsp;

<h1>Alkhidmat Commitments to Transparency</h1>

Alkhidmat Foundation maintains a strong commitment to transparency in its operations. The organization has been recognized for setting high standards of service and transparency during humanitarian efforts, including responses to natural disasters and public health crises. Additionally, Alkhidmat&#39;s privacy policy outlines how it collects and uses personal information, ensuring users&#39; data is handled responsibly.

<h1>Alkhidmat Commitments to Digital Literacy</h1>

Alkhidmat Foundation actively empowers communities in Pakistan to utilize technology effectively, fostering transparency and informed decision-making. Through various initiatives, the organization provides digital literacy training, promotes ethical online practices, and ensures that technology serves as a tool for positive social change.

<h2>Bridging the Digital Divide</h2>

Bridging the digital divide is one of the most pressing challenges of the digital age, as it directly affects education, employment, healthcare access, civic participation, and economic growth. Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Bano Qabil Program provide affordable or free devices and internet access for low-income families and community-based training and education to build digital skills for all ages.

Through initiatives like &quot;Donate Your Skill,&quot; Alkhidmat connects skilled professionals with youth eager to learn, fostering a culture of mentorship and knowledge-sharing. This collaborative approach aims to equip students with essential skills for the future, including proficiency in artificial intelligence, web development, and creative fields like toon design and animation .

<h2>Empowering Youth with IT Skills: Bano Qabil</h2>

Launched in 2022, the Bano Qabil program has rapidly expanded across Pakistan, offering 100% free, certified IT courses in cities including Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and Swabi . The program aims to train one million young individuals over the next two years, providing them with skills in areas such as web development, digital marketing, graphic design, freelancing, and e-commerce.

<h2>Impact of Alkhidmat&#39;s IT Training in the AI Era</h2>

Alkhidmat Foundation&#39;s IT training initiatives, particularly the &quot;Bano Qabil&quot; program, have profoundly impacted numerous individuals across Pakistan, equipping them with vital digital skills and opening doors to sustainable employment.

Naveed Ali Baig attributes the success of the program to the &ldquo;vision of Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman,&rdquo; who wanted to equip youth with modern IT skills. Under his leadership, the Bano Qabil program launched &ldquo;Bano Qabil 4.0&rdquo; in 2024, which includes 40 modern courses and 30 training centers. More than 165,000 students have registered in the program, of whom more than 50,000 have completed the training.

According to him, the Bano Qabil program is not only revolutionizing the education of the youth but is also bringing about a positive change in the country&rsquo;s economy, as the graduates are earning a global income through freelancing.

IT skills empower individuals to become informed citizens and contribute to a more transparent and accountable society. By understanding how to access, evaluate, and share information using digital tools, people can actively participate in democratic processes, hold institutions accountable, and advocate for social change. Moreover, IT literacy helps combat misinformation, supports open communication, and fosters civic engagement in an increasingly digital world.&nbsp;

How Alkhidmat is Empowering Futures with Digital Literacy on this World Press Day

The borders are currently closed for sending aid into Gaza, but Alkhidmat Foundation is using supplies that were stored in Gaza before the borders closed. With the help of local Palestinian volunteers, Alkhidmat is distributing food and other essentials in Gaza.&nbsp;

<h2>Four-Month Supply Stored in Gaza</h2>

Before the ceasefire ended on March 18, 2025, Alkhidmat had already stored four months&#39; worth of supplies in Gaza, preparing for the risk that the borders might close again. Thanks to this, food is still being provided daily to around 3,000 Palestinian people.

Bank transfers to Palestine are still possible, so Alkhidmat is also sending money to local volunteers. They use it to buy supplies for Alkhidmat kitchens inside Gaza, where meals are prepared and distributed.&nbsp;

<h2>Relief Operations from October 2023 to Ceasefire</h2>

Since October 7, 2023, Alkhidmat Foundation has worked closely with the Government of Pakistan and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to send aid from Pakistan to Gaza. This included cargo planes and ships, and the transportation of relief goods through Egypt and Jordan. The aid was delivered into Gaza via the Rafah Border, and thousands of Palestinian families received it. All activities were recorded and shared through Alkhidmat&rsquo;s website and social media, and were officially recognized by the Pakistani embassies in Egypt and Jordan and the Government of Pakistan as well as NDMA.

In addition to helping inside Gaza, Alkhidmat is also supporting Palestinian refugee families in Egypt through its warehouse in Cairo. Moreover, for students from Gaza who came to Pakistan to continue their education, Alkhidmat is providing housing, food, education, and other facilities.&nbsp;

<h2>Relief and Rebuild Gaza Efforts During Ceasefire</h2>

Right after October 7, 2023, Alkhidmat signed agreements with international partner organizations inside Gaza and NGOs in Egypt and Jordan to deliver food, medicines, and other aid. Thousands of tons of supplies were distributed. After the ceasefire on January 19, 2025, Alkhidmat launched a 15-billion-rupee &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; campaign. &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; included rebuilding destroyed homes, masajid, hospitals, and water projects in Gaza, and constructing a residential tower for Palestinian refugee families in Egypt, as well as supporting orphaned children. However, the &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; projects had to pause after the ceasefire ended on March 18, 2025.&nbsp;

<h2>Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Commitments to Gaza</h2>

Alkhidmat Foundation strongly wishes for a permanent ceasefire and lasting peace in Palestine. As soon as the borders reopen, Alkhidmat is ready to speed up the delivery of aid to Gaza. Meanwhile, with the help of local Palestinian volunteers and international partners, Alkhidmat continues to support families inside Gaza. Alkhidmat is still sending money via bank transfer in Palestine to keep the kitchens running and to distribute meals daily.&nbsp;

<h2>Impact of your support &nbsp;</h2>

All of this has only been possible because of the continuous support and donations from generous people like you. Alkhidmat is deeply thankful to its international and Pakistani donors and supporters for helping deliver thousands of tons of aid to Gaza. We ask for your continued support to help reach thousands of Palestinian families, women, and innocent children with essential supplies every day.&nbsp;

Alkhidmat Women Trust Lahore organised a packing drive to prepare relief goods for Gaza.

Ramadan, the month of mercy and blessings, teaches us generosity, compassion, and selflessness. It&rsquo;s a time when hearts soften, hands extend in kindness, and giving becomes a source of immense reward.

&nbsp;Alkhidmat Foundation, with its unwavering commitment to serving humanity, launches its Ramadan campaign every year, ensuring that those in need receive support, dignity, and hope.

1. Ramadan Giving: The Power of Charity

The spirit of Ramadan revolves around charity. Whether through feeding the hungry, supporting orphans, or funding medical aid, every act of giving multiplies during this sacred month. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, &ldquo;The best charity is that given in Ramadan.&rdquo; Alkhidmat ensures that every donation reaches the deserving, making Ramadan a time of true transformation.

2. Zakat vs. Sadaqah: Understanding &amp; Maximizing Rewards

Many people confuse Zakat and Sadaqah, but both hold unique significance:

Zakat is an obligatory charity (2.5% of one&rsquo;s savings) given to purify wealth and help the underprivileged.

Sadaqah is voluntary charity, which can be given anytime to seek blessings and ease hardships.

3. Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Orphan Care &amp; Aghosh Homes

Orphans hold a special place in Islam, and supporting them is a noble act. Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Aghosh Homes provide a loving environment, quality education, and healthcare to orphaned children, ensuring they grow into confident and self-reliant individuals. Sponsoring an orphan in Ramadan is one of the most rewarding acts of charity.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

4. The Last 10 Nights: Why It&rsquo;s the Best Time to Give

The last ten nights of Ramadan, especially Laylatul Qadr, carry immense blessings. A single good deed in these nights is better than a thousand months! Donating during these nights ensures multiplied rewards. Many people choose these days to give Zakat and Sadaqah, knowing that their contributions will have lasting impact.

Ramadan & Charity: Alkhidmat’s Mission to Serve Humanity

Since sadaqah is not limited to giving of money or part of our wealth, every Muslim can therefore earn rewards from Allah. Every Muslim whether poor or wealthy can give sadaqah at all times.

Reward of Daily Giving multiplies in Ramadan

Ramadan is the best time to give charity, when rewards are multiplied and every act of Sadaqah brings us closer to Allah&rsquo;s mercy. The best of sadaqah is given during the month of Ramadan. Narrated Ibn &lsquo;Abbas:

&ldquo;The Prophet ṣallallāhu &#39;alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) was the most generous person, and he used to become more so (generous) particularly in the month of Ramadan.

How Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to do Sadaqah (Charity)

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was in the severe agony of his final illness and he had seven or nine gold coins. The Prophet said, &ldquo;O Aisha, what have you done with this gold?&rdquo; I said, &ldquo;It is with me.&rdquo; The Prophet said, &ldquo;Give it away in charity.&rdquo; But I was busy caring for him, and then he said, &ldquo;O Aisha, what have you done with this gold?&rdquo; I said, &ldquo;It is with me.&rdquo; The Prophet said, &ldquo;Give it to me.&rdquo; I brought them and placed them in his hands, then the Prophet said, &ldquo;What is Muhammad thinking if he were to meet Allah while holding onto these?&rdquo; (Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 715)

Ways to do Daily Giving in Ramadan 

Feed the Fast 

In one Hadith, we find that the Prophet ﷺ stressed the importance of feeding the hungry:

&ldquo;The best charity is to satisfy a hungry person.&rdquo; He also said, &ldquo;No wealth (of a servant of Allah) is decreased because of charity.&rdquo; (Muslim 2588).&nbsp;

Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan provides essential Food Packages (Ration) to the underserved and deserving families across Pakistan every day of Ramadan. Imagine feeding an entire family every day for a month. Imagine the reward multiplied with every fast they break.

&nbsp;

Volunteering work &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Charity is basically voluntary charitable act towards another being, whether through generosity, love, compassion or faith. To fulfill this purpose, Alkhidmat Volunteers conducted Asaan Iftar activities every year.

Keeping up with this tradition, Volunteers of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan arranged iftar drives for the travelers, laborers, and residents of slum areas.

&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174202396967d52d2105eec.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 533px;" />

Share Beneficial Knowledge

Teaching Quran or sharing any beneficial knowledge, any skill is also a charity which you can do on daily bases to contribute to daily giving in Ramadan.

Donate Every Night of Ramadan

The easiest way to donate, give that easy amount which you can effortlessly withdraw on daily bases to make sure daily giving in the holy month of Ramadan.

Keep some money aside that you can give to different causes that you come across, or simply because you are asked. Mufti Tariq, renowned Pakistan spiritual scholar guides if you don&rsquo;t find any deserving to charity, save your charity money in the month of Ramadan with the intension of charity, it will be considered as Ramadan charity after Ramadan too.

Alkhidmat Foundation&rsquo;s Ramadan Daily Giving Portal facilitates the donor to donate every day by automating your daily donations across Ramadan. Through that online transaction, amount is deducted on daily bases and your sadaqah is counted on daily bases.

&nbsp;

How Global Donors facilitates Daily Giving

Global donations will provide urgent relief to struggling families in Palestine, where daily life is marked by hardship and scarcity. At Global serving, Alkhidmat is committed to ensure that no one goes hungry this Ramadan. Food packs, Hot meals and Clean Water are daily giving projects of Alkhidmat in Ramadan.

Yet, millions of people suffer from a shortage of water, or even unsafe water, in Palestine. The impact water has on a global level hence, sheds importance on giving this drink as charity.&nbsp;

Through Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Rebuild Gaza emergency appeal, it aims to provide immediate relief to the most vulnerable families. Join Alkhidmat in rebuild Gaza camapign to make sure the daily giving in Ramadan.

The significance of giving water being the best type of charity is further emphasized on the situation the Prophet ﷺ advised this in - when giving charity on behalf of the deceased.

How Daily Giving Create a Big Impact 

Your impact of daily giving can transform many lives. Alkhidmat is supporting the needy with food and aid regularly and makes sure your charity spending in the welfare of vulnerable communities.

PKR 100 can provide life-saving, nutritious Iftar meals to families suffering from hunger and starvation.

For just 1500 PKR per meal, you can feed a hungry child or family in Gaza.

PKR 5500 can make the future of a deserving child bright.

PKR 9600 can supply families with food packs containing essentials to last an entire month.

How Poor Man can Charity 

The person who cannot afford to do Sadaqah, he should remember this saying of Holy Prophet.

The Prophet (SAW) said: &ldquo;Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity.&rdquo; [Sahih al-Bukhari 1417]. This last 10 days of Ramadan is a time for reflection and spiritual growth, when we seek protection from hellfire.

&nbsp;

Honoring Women Volunteers: The Hidden Champions of Social Change and Empowerment for International Women's Day

Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan has a longstanding tradition of serving underprivileged communities, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. In March 2025, the organization inaugurated the Alkhidmat Ramadan Food Hub in Lahore, aiming to provide rations to deserving individuals throughout the month.

This initiative is part of Alkhidmat&#39;s broader commitment to humanitarian service, ensuring that no one goes hungry during Ramadan. The foundation has a longstanding tradition of providing food assistance during this sacred time, reaffirming its dedication to alleviating hunger and poverty.

Strategic Locations and Establishment

Alkhidmat&rsquo;s decision to set up food hubs in several cities displays a broad and systematic approach to food distribution during Ramadan. Recognizing that need transcends mere geographic barriers; the organization has established hubs across diverse urban areas, including major cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Hyderabad. This deliberate spatial distribution ensures that no community is left without assistance, regardless of their location.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174124499367c94a412d51d.jpeg" style="width: 1280px; height: 1600px;" />

In addition to the central hub, multiple distribution points have been set up throughout Lahore to serve deserving communities. For instance, a recent report highlights that the Food Hub has been established in various locations within the city to facilitate Ramadan ration distribution. Each hub is strategically placed in areas with a high concentration of needy families. The hubs serve as critical centers where community members can easily access ration packages.

In Lahore, the <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Food Hub</a> has been set up at Karamat Colony Center. This initiative is part of Alkhidmat&#39;s broader mission to serve needy communities during Suhoor and Iftar throughout Ramadan

In Karachi, Alkhidmat has established multiple &quot;Food Hubs&quot; throughout the city, with the central hub located in North Karachi. These hubs facilitate the preparation and distribution of ration bags containing essential Ramadan items. The prepared rations are then delivered to district offices for distribution to deserving families.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Alkhidmat has organized events in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the distribution of Ramadan Ration Packs. These packs are designed to alleviate the financial burden on families, allowing them to observe the holy month with peace of mind.

&nbsp;

Key Features of Hub Formation

The food hub setups have been meticulously planned with the following in mind:

<ul>
	<li>Proximity to heavily populated areas to maximize reach.</li>
	<li>Infrastructural willingness to store and distribute quality food.</li>
	<li>Accessibility for volunteers and recipients alike.</li>
	<li>Integration with local community centers to streamline operations.</li>
</ul>

By tailoring these hubs to suit local needs, Alkhidmat ensures that food distribution is efficient, timely, and impactful. Each hub is a testament to the organization&rsquo;s innovative approach to community service, reducing the risk of hunger by ensuring that food is delivered where it is most needed.

The Composition of Ration Packages

Essential Food Items

A core component of Alkhidmat&rsquo;s initiative is the comprehensive nature of its ration packages. These packages have been thoughtfully curated to cover the nutritional requirements necessary to sustain families during Ramadan. The items typically found in these packages include:

<ul>
	<li>Rice &ndash; a staple to provide energy and fill the meal.</li>
	<li>Flour &ndash; essential for making bread and other basic items.</li>
	<li>Sugar &ndash; necessary for sweetening beverages and desserts.</li>
	<li>Cooking Oil &ndash; to prepare meals in a nutritious manner.</li>
	<li>Tea &ndash; for beverages which are culturally significant during gatherings.</li>
	<li>Chickpeas and Lentils &ndash; a valuable source of protein and fiber.</li>
	<li>Dates &ndash; for breaking the fast, recognized as a traditional and healthy option.</li>
</ul>

Additionally, some packages may include other important food supplies such as powdered milk, gram flour, and additional staples to cater to the regional dietary needs. The overall valuation of these comprehensive packages is approximately PKR 7,000 per package, ensuring that families have all they need for a sustained period during Ramadan.

&nbsp;

Community Engagement and Volunteer Involvement

The Role of Volunteers

A significant aspect that underpins the success of Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Food Hubs is the enthusiastic involvement of volunteers. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of the distribution effort, assisting with packing, organizing, and delivering vast numbers of ration packages. The reliance on volunteer support not only enhances the reach of the initiative but also fosters a strong sense of community ownership and participation.

Volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that each package is assembled to meet the requisite standards and delivered promptly to families in need. Their contribution goes beyond logistics; they embody the spirit of Ramadan by continuously engaging with community members and providing emotional as well as practical support throughout the month.
