Without shelter, families—especially women and daughters—live in constant fear and shame. Mera Ghar provides them with a private space where they can live with honor, protect their privacy, and reclaim their dignity in society.
For the poor, harsh summers, freezing winters, and heavy rains can be life-threatening. Our homes protect families from these extremes, ensuring children, mothers, and elders are safe, comfortable, and free from seasonal illness.
Living in the open leaves families vulnerable to theft, harassment, and harm. A strong one-room home brings safety—keeping loved ones protected while giving them peace of mind to focus on rebuilding their lives.
A home is more than four walls—it is a foundation for growth. With shelter secured, families can invest in education, health, and livelihood, creating brighter futures for generations to come.
For more than a decade, 43-year-old widow Irshad Bibi lived under a tent in Ghulam Muhammad Village, Tehsil Gandakha, District Jaffarabad. She had already lost her husband five years earlier, and when the floods of 2010 swept away her home, she was left with nothing but grief and struggle.
Her only son, once her hope, met with a tragic accident in 2016 that left him unable to work after losing his knee. With no steady income, Irshad worked as a farm laborer, earning just 300 rupees during harvesting season. For the rest of the year, she relied on the kindness of neighbors to survive.
After years of hardship and waiting, FKFP built a safe, permanent home for Irshad and her son. For the first time in 13 years, she no longer fears the heat, the rain, or the storms.
“This house is a blessing after years of pain. Now I can finally live with dignity and hope for my son’s future,” says Irshad with tears of relief.
Her story is a reminder that behind every home built, there is a life rebuilt.
For 13 long years, 47-year-old Gul Muhammad, battling hepatitis, lived in an open shed with his wife and eight small children after the 2010 floods washed away their mud house. Despite selling roasted chickpeas on his cycle and working as a farm laborer, he could never rebuild a home.
Through FKFP’s support, Gul and his children finally have a safe house—a place of dignity, comfort, and hope.
“Now my children can sleep in peace, and I have strength to dream again,” says Gul Muhammad with tears in his eyes.
Durnaz lost her husband 10 years ago and struggled to raise her three daughters while battling illness herself. After the 2010 floods destroyed her mud house, she survived by stitching clothes, earning only 4,000 rupees a month, but could never rebuild a home.
Through FKFP’s support, she and her daughters now live in a safe house—bringing them dignity, comfort, and hope for the future.
“This home is my biggest blessing. My daughters are safe at last,” she says with tears of relief.
