Stichting Diwa


Diwa Foundation

Diwa is a small organization, based in the Netherlands and entirely based on volunteers of Dutch and Pakistani Christian backgrounds. Our strategy is to work in close coordination with local organizations in the Punjab region of Pakistan.

Diwa has a mission to support vulnerable people in Pakistan in order to improve their livelihood as a sign of Christian compassion and justice. The vision of Diwa is a literate society where everyone has equal opportunities in every sphere of life.

Despite several lockdowns in Pakistan in 2021, the various training activities of the Diwa Foundation could continue. Lessons were organised in small groups.

In addition, we have helped some families to get through these difficult corona times. Diwa Foundation Pakistan has also helped to inform the local population about the usefulness of vaccination. The building of the Diwa Foundation has been used as a vaccination post by the local government.

Emergency Food Help Program Pakistan, update 7 April 2020

Last weekend — Palm Sunday — we have distributed 67 food packets to needy families in Francisabad. The packaging and distribution was a lot of work, but our Diwa team and the youth from Kings Way Church worked very hard to fulfill this mission.

Emergency help for Pakistan

The corona virus crisis has affected every county worldwide. The government of Pakistan has also locked down the whole country to prevent the virus from spreading. For two weeks people are staying home. The schools, offices, businesses, daily basis work is closed. Only grocery shops and medical stores are open to help people buy the food and medicine.

Two-thirds of Pakistan’s population is poor. Most of them work on daily wages as a labour, hawker, house maid and cleaner. Their daily earning enables them to feed their families and fulfil other necessities.
