Zero Hunger Program
Ending Hunger is at the core of our work. Through Qamar Zero Hunger Program, we are tackling poverty and improving the lives of local communities by providing food packs and undertaking a range of integrated skills and careers development programs amongst needy communities.
About Zero Hunger Project:
Zero Hunger is one of the sustainable projects of the Qamar Foundation aiming to support 200 zero economy and the most vulnerable families for ten consecutive months. The project is designed to help those who cannot afford their families’ expenses and are under an ill-poverty level but are willing to learn skills or careers to have a sustained income in the long term. Qamar Foundation provides the families an amazing opportunity that will open up new job and income-earning opportunities for poor families after almost 1 year of food support. This will boost the opportunity for the families to increase their earnings and find a job in the market after successfully emerging their skills or careers.
The Project Beneficiaries:
Our team has registered 200 most vulnerable families of which 1600 family members/beneficiaries are receiving food packs with Qamar sustainable solution programs.
