Saylani Dastarkhwan

Financial difficulties must not be a cause of hunger for anyone. To overcome this challenge, Saylani Welfare International Trust has started its community initiative, Saylani Dastarkhwan, serving free nutritious food to thousands of deserving people daily.

The organization's compassionate Saylani free meal program makes it possible for everyday working people, laborers, travellers and underprivileged families to have meals with dignity, irrespective of their financial status.

About the service

One of Saylani's biggest food relief projects is the Dastarkhwan (Kitchen) program, which provides freshly prepared food at various distribution centres throughout Pakistan. All food is prepared and served in a manner that adheres to good hygiene practices and served with care and concern to those who are food insecure. The organization distributes food through Saylani to senior citizens, students, unemployed, travellers, daily wage earners and families in financial crisis. The program guarantees that no one deserves a healthy meal and can't get it.

In addition to helping families with their daily food needs, the Saylani free meal program is also a support to the communities it serves; providing consistent food support throughout the year. This is particularly beneficial when many families are unable to afford their daily meals because of emergencies, economic hardship, or during the month of Ramadan. With the generous sponsorship of donors who contribute for food and donate for Dastarkhawn, the program continues to grow and reach thousands of people each day, all while advocating for compassion, dignity, and community health and welfare.

In detail

The following is a closer look at how this service works

The Saylani Dastarkhwan is a systematic system of distributing food, while ensuring that nutritious food is provided to those in need. The fresh meals are cooked every day in hygienic kitchens before being handed out in specific Dastarkhwan centres. Volunteers and staff serve meals in a respectful manner and each recipient is served in a welcoming and dignified manner.

The program continues to be supported on an ongoing basis by the community and donations to the school. Through donation, quality ingredients are bought, new meals are prepared, kitchens are maintained and food is distributed to other communities. By working together, Saylani can help eradicate hunger and foster a sense of giving and responsibility in Pakistan.
