About SRO Kashmir

The SRO Kashmir Foundation, which began as a small trust focused on local needs, has matured into a comprehensive crisis-management organization. Originating from the compassionate efforts of the “Srinagar Samaritans,” it has garnered widespread support, evolving into a welfare entity that spans the entire region of Kashmir. Its dedication to aiding the impoverished and those in distress has been fully realized; over its 17-year history, the NGO has profoundly impacted the community—providing relief to those affected by the 2005 earthquake and leading recovery efforts during the 2014 floods.

With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, the NGO swiftly became a pillar of support for the community during lockdowns. An influx of altruistic individuals bolstered its capacity, establishing it as a prominent welfare organization. Its commitment to urgent care, particularly during nocturnal hours, offered a glimmer of hope to those facing emergencies. Anticipating the COVID-19 crisis, the team—under expert guidance—formulated an effective response strategy. Embodying the principle that adversity reveals true character, SRO Kashmir remained vigilant in confronting the pandemic’s challenges.
