The Feelforall project embodies a powerful dream: to alleviate the suffering of those around us. This organization is driven by a fundamental mission — to ignite positive change in education, health, human rights, and daily living. Our endeavors, whether through ration drives or educational initiatives, are anchored in the undeniable truth that supporting those in need is essential for Pakistan’s prosperity.
I was in 8th standard when I planned to start my own organization which would help others. I along with my sister started out planning but realized along the way that the time was not right, we were still quite young, had no money whatsoever and had almost no contacts. So As a first step we got a plastic bottle of pepsi and started saving money for the organization. Time went on like it always do and within a blink it was the year 2017 and I had got admission in one of the most prestigious institution of the country. Now it was the time to fullfill our dream and with the blessings of Almighty Allah in 2018 Ramadan we had officially started FeelForAll. Food Education Emancipation and Life for all. The scope of the organization was huge but so was our passion towards the cause. The journey was hard, people came and left especially those who were supposed to be there till the end but still somehow with the blessings of Allah and the untiring efforts of my friends and team we kept afloat. We reached to those people who were shunned away by their own families, we took on plans that seemed impossible, but somehow we kept going on. We made alot of mistakes as well while working through, the work life balance, the implementation of ideas, the creative solution were far from perfect but Maybe at the end of the day the only thing that really matters is that we envisioned something beyond our own selves, that we kept going, that we changed ourselves for our cause. Today over 4 years have passed since we delivered the first ration pack and I and my team feel ready to take our dream to the next level.
The article 21a of the constitution of pakistan clearly highlights that the government of pakistan is responsible for the education of the people and it is a right of everyone. But even today millions roams in the street, working in factories, shops, local hotels and workshops and no one pays any heed. Similarly the education system which was a legacy of our colonial past have the glimses of the apartheid among the poor and the rich. The education provided lacks moral values, practical skills and is in no way suffice in the today’s world. it neither helps us understand overselves nor our world. Our aim is very simple, we want to educate and help other become the best possible versions of themselves. From Iqbal’s khudi and self-realization to the concept of anger management, stress management and goal oriention.
When pakistan was created it was envisioned that the new born country will be a respiring space for all those who were wronged by the society. But somewhere along the way we have lost the purpose and the same bourgeoisie class is ruiling the country again and as a result still over 55 million people are living below the poverty line ( a very conservative number, in reality the situation is far worse). The food is the basic need ot everyone and a hungry stomach cannot think beyond this. Team feelforall started with the herculean task of providing food to those who couldn’t have it. In the past 4 years we have provided ration to thousands of families but millions remain there , in need of some massiah who can help and uplift them.
Rousseau rightly said that ” Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains”. The story of our countryman is not different. From the chains of poverty to the stigmas we are all caged. The human rights violation is a norm, human rights activism is just a buzzword, the society is too busy rebreaathing it’s own putrid air that they are un aware of the miseries of the people. Our goal is to help those who don’t have anyone on their side, to challange the norms of those who are using all the media for their gains, to be the voice of the voiceless and to augment the efforts towards a country where the discrimination based because of the monetary factors will play no role.
health is not mere the absence of disease. Team Feelforall realizes the importance of the health and the factors that are related to it in one way or another. In life we have helped people with their medical treatments, we started cleanliness drives and we started our plantation drive, we are also planning to start our mental health counseling platform keeping in view the alarming increase in the depression and mental health issues.
