Restoring Breath to Pakistan

  • Home

Our mission is to provide life-saving nebulizers to families suffering from respiratory damages caused by smog and pollution. 

At Strands of Breath, we work together as a non-profit organization to provide support to under-served communities in Pakistan. With your help, we fund life-saving nebulizers to families in Pakistan where smog and air pollution affects over 80 million people annually.


From remote communities cut off from essential respiratory care to families in poverty, we strive to help them fight against the devastating effects of pollution. Together, we can make the unseen struggles visible. 

About Us

At strands of breath, our mission is to address the unseen struggles caused by air pollution in third world countries, specifically in Pakistan. With the ongoing crisis of smog and toxic air in Pakistan, we work to provide nebulizers to their underserved communities. We believe that no matter the status of one, they should be able to properly breath, a facility no one should be exempt from.



Solution

To help is to provide. In potential collaboration with local/national health care providers in Pakistan, we will work to provide nebulizers to families in need. Our approach not only helps the nebulizer distribution, but also ensures healthcare support and guidance so the nebulizers are used safely and effectively. 

While we actively work on the broad issue of air pollution, our goal is to reduce its toll on public health. We aim to reduce the statistics of premature deaths and respiratory illnesses, offering relief to millions being affected by toxic air.

Our Aid

How we Help

At Strands of Breath, we fund all of our initiatives through partnerships, fundraising events (such as bake sales, cake raffles, party events..), merchandise sales, and the generosity of donors like you. 100% of the funds raised go directly toward purchasing and distributing nebulizers to underserved, rural, and impoverished communities in Pakistan.

Our Impact

  • $80: Funds one nebulizer with accessories, saving the life of one person.
  • $250: Funds one nebulizer and accessories for a family of four, helping to save four people. 
  • $500: Funds nebulizers and equipment for two families, saving eight people altogether. 

For every $80 raised, you’re not just providing a nebulizer—you’re giving someone a chance to breathe again. A chance at freedom.

Our Goal

The difference 1000 people-lives have.

We aim to reduce the rural health crisis in Pakistan by providing $40,000 worth of equipment, which will save over 1,000 lives.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us the warmth of support to success.
