Key takeaways

Ehsaas's stated purpose is relieving poverty among low-income families through food, water, shelter, health, education and employment, and it names Pakistan as its priority while describing work across several countries, so a request that fits those themes is worth considering.
The annual report gives no grant range or annual giving figure, so it cannot tell you what size of request is realistic, and a modest, clearly costed request is the safest starting point.
No application process is published, so the only route is the contact shown for getting in touch, and a short enquiry first is the sensible approach.
The register records no grants to institutions, and the charity delivers its work largely through its own projects, so a grant to an outside organisation may be less likely.
Neither the annual report nor its website says anything about timing or how competitive funding is.

Overview

It began when a few friends started supporting poor flood-affected people in Pakistan, which eventually led to the charity being set up. To date, more than 12,000 families have been given monthly rations, helping over 72,000 people. Its Our Goats 2 Relieve Poverty & Sewing Machine Projects help people get themselves out of poverty.
