Our Aim

Nurturing & Empowering Communities

The Food and Nutrition division of Rizq is dedicated to nourishing communities, empowering individuals, and unlocking true human potential. Through a tapestry of innovative programs, we strive not only to fill empty stomachs but also to address the root causes of hunger. We don’t just provide sustenance, we also advocate for healthy and nutritious food, believing it is essential for the well-being of individuals.
The Problem

Scant affordable nutrition

The global disruptions in supply chains caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the local devastation caused by the 2022 floods in Pakistan, have plunged millions into poverty. Compounded by historic inflation, the accessibility of affordable and nutritious food has become an unattainable dream for many. In the face of these challenges, our programs strive to ensure that people have access to the vital nutrition they need, offering healthy and affordable options.
