In Islamic history the country of Syria has thrived and flourished as the capital of the Islamic Empire. As one of the most ancient civilizations this country has been celebrated for its education, economy, and agriculture. The present day situation is far from the remarkable history Syria is known for.
Helping Hand for Relief and Development is reaching out to its donors to lend their support for the Syrian people. With the situation declining day by day the average citizen is unable to live a normal healthy life. As women, children, elderly and families fear for their safety we at HHRD hope to reach out to them by providing meals and baby essentials.
Join HHRD in its “Help Syria Now” campaign, time is of the essence and the need is great. For further information please visit www.hhrd.org

In response of heavy monsoon rains and floods in the Sindh province of Pakistan these past two years, Helping Hand for Relief and Development immediately mobilized its resources making them one of the first relief organizations in Sindh, Pakistan.
With 5.5 million people affected, 300,000 internally displaced and 970,000 homes destroyed HHRD’s all inclusive relief efforts have provided the basic necessities of food, shelter, clean water and medicines to those affected. In over 1,300 medical clinics trained professionals have been able to assist thousands of individuals.
UNICEF states that 1 out of every 5 flood affected child is malnourished; this figure is strikingly similar to the famine in Sub Saharan Africa. Moreover, HHRD through its $25 food package program, with the help of generous donors, was able to feed over 25,000 families and provide close to 2.5 million meals.
The international community played an enormous role in HHRD’s relief efforts through its “In Kind Donation” program. A total of 15 containers were sent to Pakistan filled with non perishable food items, toiletries, medicine, warm clothing etc.
HHRD efforts spanned all facets of social and economic recovery through programs such as its “Integrated Approach toward Rebuilding Pakistan” progam which includes a Home Construction Program and Water & Sanitation Hygiene Program. These programs are currently being implemented in 11 adopted Union Councils throughout Pakistan. Moreover, programs such as “Interest Free Micro-Finance” have allowed for those affected to once again support their families.
The relief efforts in Pakistan are ongoing and HHRD, through its various programs, continues to make great progress in the country. For further details on HHRD’s relief efforts please visit www.reliefforpakistan.org and donate generously.

It was one year a go that people around the world witnessed an uprising called the “Arab Spring”. During this time average citizens took the streets to protest unjust treatment and the poverty they lived in. Though time has passed and leaders have changed, the world and these citizens continue to look forward to year of fulfillment.
HHRD provided emergency relief to the people of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya as the crisis escalated. Food, medicine, shelter and in kind donations were collected from our generous donors and distributed to those in need. Though a year has passed and positive change has come about there remains a need for support. With a changing economy and policy many remain unemployed and are living off of very little.
Continue to lend a helping hand through HHRD’s various programs for this region. As the winter continues so does HHRD’s “Winter Campaign” along with the collection of monetary assistance. For further information on HHRD’s progress and programs in the region visit www.hhrd.org

Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD), through its various emergency relief programs, has continued to provide much need assistance to the earthquake victims of Haiti. With a quarter of a million people left desolate following the worst earthquake of 2010 Haitians continue to look towards international aid for respite.
HHRD has initiated its Orphan Sponsorship/Support program in Haiti to address the concerns of the large number of children who are left without parents Check hhrd.org/osp to learn about the Haitian orphans needing sponsors).
Furthermore, the immediate need for clean water in the area prompted HHRD to build a well as part of its Water for Life program in the town of Miragoane.
It is also important to mention that throughout the years HHRD has continued, through the help of its generous donors, its Zabihah and Ramadan distributions.
Also every year since 2010, HHRD has provided 30 college students with the opportunity to volunteer during their spring break in its Youth for Haiti program. These students received hands on experience with regards to emergency relief work, medical assistance and home construction.
After the earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, HHRD mobilized its resources and, as one of the first relief organizations on the ground, was able to assess the situation at hand. HHRD relief work addressed the situation by gauging what was needed to facilitate survival and followed this with the necessary skills and training of the victims in order for them to ensure a secure future for themselves.
HHRD set out to rebuild Haiti by constructing 102 permanent homes in Léogâne. Moreover, doctors from Pakistan, Indonesia, the United States and local Haitians worked round the clock to tend to the wounded. Six rotational clinics were operated for three months in the most remote areas with little or no medical help. These Medical Clinics treated more than 2,000 people per week and vaccinations were provided to hundreds of men, women and children. Over $160,000 worth of medication was administered to over 11,000 patients.
Despite all its efforts, help is still needed. HHRD encourages its generous donors to open their hearts for the people of Haiti and donate by visiting www.hhrd.org.
