Philanthropy Project

At Hope & Light, we believe in the transformative power of compassion. Our philanthropy chapter is driven by a deep commitment to making a tangible difference in women's lives. We provide essential services like clean water schemes, safe pathways, and food drives, ensuring that basic needs are met.

But our mission goes beyond immediate aid. We conduct workshops and training sessions to enhance life skills, raise mental health awareness, and establish not-for-profit mental health clinics, providing crucial psychological support to those in need or who suffer in silence. Our charity efforts also focus on creating safe school pathways besides schools. We are investing in young people through the SkillBridge program, which equips them with vital early professional soft skills for their future success.

At Hope & Light, we are not just offering assistance but building hope and paving the way for a brighter, more equitable future for all.

Workshops & Training
Hope & Light offers evidence-based workshops and training to equip women with self-awareness and coping strategies, regardless of their socio-economic background. These awareness sessions are an integral part of the story of Hope & Light, as the very first session started at Dr Asma Naheed’s home in 2015.

Eventually, her work caught the attention of the Pakistani Ambassador at the time, who opened the doors of the Pakistani Embassy for monthly workshops. Dr. Asma believes these workshops are essential for giving back to the community. Under her leadership, Hope & Light has conducted many seminars and helped transform the lives of countless women. If you would like to organize a workshop, please do not hesitate to contact us!
PsyCare Clinics
Our not-for-profit clinics provide psychological services and expert guidance to women, and families empowering them to challenge mental health stigmas, unravel hidden psychological struggles, embrace their potential, and build supportive infrastructure in remote areas to lighten their daily load.

These clinics are exclusively set up to serve women in Pakistan, breaking barriers to mental health support. Mental health clinics are a vital part of the Hope & Light mission. Dr. Asma is committed to expanding the footprint of her impact by opening these clinics in more cities across Pakistan and training new therapists and doctors while building a community full of hope and light!​
Bread with Care
Rawlakot, a beacon of hope, shines bright in the streets of Prati Bazarht. Hope and Light Tandoor, a selfless initiative, has provided free rotis to over 100 laborers daily since 2018. These people, hailing from various villages, often go unnoticed, struggling to make ends meet without a living space to call their own. The absence of gas in the area makes cooking daunting, but Hope and Light Tandoor have stepped in to fill the gap. This remarkable project has satisfied these laborers' hunger and supported entire families by feeding the breadwinners. It has also become a symbol of hope and resilience.

The ripple effect of kindness has inspired the Kashana Girls' Student Hostel to also reach out for support. Their kitchen, now run by Hope and Light, is a testament to the power of compassion and community. As the aroma of freshly baked rotis wafts through the air, it carries with it the promise of a better tomorrow. Hope and Light Tandoor is more than just a feeding program – it's a reminder that humanity and kindness can thrive even in the darkest corners. ​​
Water Supply Schemes
Bore Wells of Hope-Bringing Clean Water
In the picturesque town of Rawlakot, Azad Kashmir, Hope & Light's bore well project is set to revolutionize the lives of over haundreds of households, providing them access to clean drinking water. With similar projects, we are making a future possible where children can grow up healthy and strong, free from waterborne diseases; where women are given freedom from carrying water bowls (matka) on their heads; where families can thrive without the burden of water scarcity; and where communities can flourish with the gift of clean water.

Dr. Asma's tireless efforts are making this vision a reality. The Borewell project is another testament to the power of compassion and determination. With every drop of clean water, Hope & Light is nurturing a safer, healthier tomorrow for the people of Rawlakot. Join Dr. Asma and Hope & Light in their quest for a cleaner, brighter future!​
Safe School Pathway
Building Bridges of Dreams- Connecting Young Hearts to Endless Possibilities
A winding path, a treacherous terrain, and a determination to learn. The journey to school is a daunting challenge for children in our mountains. Hope & Light is committed to changing this by introducing the Safe Pathway Project. As part of this project, we are building footbridges. A footbridge is more than just a crossing–it's a gateway to education, opportunity, and a brighter future. With every step, it whispers promises of a safer tomorrow, where young minds can flourish and dreams know no bounds. You can be a part of this transformative journey and support this project!

These pathways serve our students and our dedicated teachers and staff, providing them with quick and easy access to schools creating a safe and supportive learning environment. By prioritizing their safety and convenience, we empower them to focus on what truly matters—nurturing and inspiring the young minds they guide daily.
SkillBridge Programme
Preparing Teens: SoftSkills Essentials
This initiative, led by Dr. Asma Naheed, equips young students with essential soft skills for academic and career success. In Pakistan, many young adults enter the workforce without the professional skills needed to thrive. SkillBridge aims to bridge this gap and give students a head start. Our pilot study involves 300 students from three high schools in Rawlakot. We begin with pre-tests to assess current soft skills. Over five weeks, students participate in small group sessions during school hours, learning vital skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and professional etiquette. This fully funded program is dedicated to empowering students across Pakistan.

Be a part of shaping the future of young students! Follow our journey, support our mission, and help build a brighter future for all students. Together, we can make a difference.
Roshni’s Diary - Children’s Web Series
Roshni's Diary is a heartwarming and insightful animated cartoon series created by Hope and Light to highlight the emotional and psychological world of a young girl named Roshni. It's not just a cartoon — it's a bridge between generations, a safe space for conversation, and a reflection of the real struggles and dreams of children in our society.
