Millennium Fellowship Project: PUKAAR
Project Pukaar was our collective effort to stand with flood-affected communities in their most difficult days. Through the collaboration of FiSabilillah Foundation and Civil Defence Multan, our team provided clean drinking water to over 1,500 people, distributed ready meals to another 1,500 individuals, and delivered 100 comprehensive grocery packages to families who had lost almost everything. This project was not just relief work—it was a reminder of what unity, compassion, and student-led action can achieve when people come together for a meaningful cause. Project Pukaar has now concluded, but the spirit of service it created will continue to inspire our work ahead.
