Fire Devastation in Jammu and Kashmir
'The example of the believers in their affection, mercy and compassion for each other is that of a body. When one limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever'. (Bukhari)
A series of devastating fires have ravaged parts of Jammu and Kashmir in recent days, leaving behind a trail of destruction. On March 22, 2025, a massive fire broke out in Srinagar's Shaheed Gunj area, destroying at least eight homes and displacing 11 families. This follows a similar disaster in Anantnag on March 21, where over 20 houses were gutted, leaving more than 30 families homeless. These fires have caused immense damage to both residential properties and the livelihoods of the affected families, exacerbating an already challenging situation for many. In total, over 1,200 forest fires have impacted more than 3,500 hectares of land in the region over the past year, adding to the devastation.
The people of Jammu and Kashmir are in desperate need of support, as they face the dire consequences of these ongoing calamities. Muslim Hands is urgently calling for your generous donations to help provide immediate relief to those affected by the fires. Funds will be directed towards providing temporary shelter, essential supplies such as food, clean water, and medical aid, as well as long-term assistance to rebuild homes and restore livelihoods. Your contribution can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have lost everything. We stand in solidarity with the victims of this tragedy and urge you to join our efforts in bringing hope and relief to the people of Jammu and Kashmir during this difficult time. Please donate today and help us provide much-needed support to those in need.
Our Projects in Kashmir
Sponsor an Orphan
The Prophet (saw) said, ‘The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this’ - and he (saw) held his two fingers together to illustrate. (Bukhari)
Generous donors like yourself are currently sponsoring 200 orphans in India-administered Kashmir. Be a part of this Sadaqah Jariyah! Schools have been closed for a year, and your sponsorship will provide education for an orphan.
Due to current restrictions, it will pay for online classes for now (using 2G, since 3G and 4G aren't available). Our partners will wire the money directly into the guardian's bank account, to ensure your Sadaqah/Zakat reaches the orphan quickly and safely.

Build a Water Well
‘No intervention has greater overall impact upon national development and public health than the provision of safe drinking water and the proper disposal of human waste’. (WHO)
As well as distributing emergency aid, we are also building water wells in India-administered Kashmir.
You can help us provide poor families with easy access to clean water, improving health as well as keeping women from making long, unsafe journeys. We are currently building Tube Wells, Dig-a-Wells and Community Wells in Kashmir.
