  3. Why did we begin? • For some years friends of Molana Mohammad Aslam Zahid were regularly asking him to pass on their Zakaat, Sadaqah etc to the needy in remote parts of Azad Kashmir which were not easily accessible. • Molana through his personal visits and with the help of people on the ground was able to identify needy people and handover the amounts according to their criteria. • In 2005 AWF was started to respond to the increasing needs of the victims of the 2005 earthquake. • Since then AWF has been raising money for various projects to cater for the increasing needs of the orphans, widows and other sufferers. • In 2010 AWF was formalised and registered as a charity to make it even more transparent.

  4. Where do we operate? Mainly in the following remote villages located in the higher parts of the mountains of Kashmir and not easily accessible. • Bagh • Besutty • Kharl • Panyali • Qadarabad • Chattar • Rera • Needy families living in these villages are extremely poor and the average monthly income is about 5000 rupees equivalent to £40.
