Under Project Rise Global Initiative, Dawat-e-Hadiyah Pakistan mobilizes community volunteers to engage deeply in environmental conservation, disaster relief, and social service across Karachi and other parts of the country. The philosophy of Project Rise — rooted in Islamic teachings and the principle of caring for all of Creation — guides its multifaceted interventions in Pakistan.
Flood Relief & Disaster Response (2022)
Following the catastrophic 2022 monsoon floods in Pakistan, Project Rise volunteers coordinated with the Pakistan Army and civic authorities to provide urgent relief. Aid included dry rations, cooked meals, medicines, hygiene kits, tents, and clean drinking water, reaching over 300,000 affected individuals. This response highlighted the community’s readiness and organisational strength to provide large-scale humanitarian support.
KDA Beautification Project
A major beautification and plantation project was undertaken at the KDA Roundabout in North Nazimabad as part of the community’s ongoing environmental and neighbourhood-renewal efforts. The initiative included the clearing of accumulated debris, followed by vibrant landscaping featuring 16,000 ground-cover plants and 200 small trees. Colours, lighting was installed to enhance the roundabout’s visual appeal at night, and a dedicated water tank was added to ensure sustainable maintenance of the greenery. This model urban-renewal effort has contributed significantly to the beautification of the area reflecting the community’s commitment towards a clean, green, and welcoming urban environment.
2 days a month for Environment
To sustain momentum, the community has launched a monthly two-day conservation drive, where hundreds of volunteers regularly participate in tree‑planting and clean-up campaigns. In one such drive, over 300 volunteers planted 110 trees at Bin Qasim Park, followed by a 2 km cleanliness sweep in Karachi’s Old City.
Through sustained planting, clean-up, and education efforts, Dawoodi Bohra volunteers continue to embody their values as guardians of nature, working hand-in-hand with civic authorities and public institutions to build a greener, more resilient Karachi.
