Nigehban Dastarkhwan 2026
Maryam Nawaz launched Nigehban Dastarkhwan 2026, a free rashan initiative officially named “Maryam ke Mehman”. This program is designed to support low-income families by providing essential food supplies without any cost. With the rising cost of living in Pakistan, many families struggle to afford basic groceries, and this program aims to directly address that challenge.
Maryam Nawaz highlighted that the initiative is not only about giving food but also about creating a system that brings communities together. By offering regular support, the program ensures that families do not have to worry about daily meals during difficult economic times. This approach reflects a practical solution to food insecurity while encouraging social solidarity.

Goals of the ‘Maryam ke Mehman’ Program
The primary aim of Nigehban Dastarkhwan is to reduce hunger and assist families in need. Beyond this, the program seeks to:
- Ensure fair and organized distribution of essential groceries.
- Promote volunteerism and community participation in welfare activities.
- Establish a long-term model of social support that can be expanded nationwide.
By focusing on both immediate relief and long-term planning, the program emphasizes sustainable social welfare rather than temporary aid.
