Renowned Pakistani singer and humanitarian Hadiqa Kiani is set to embark on a six-city fundraising tour across the United Kingdom, aiming to raise money for widows and orphaned children affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The initiative, organised in partnership with AlKhidmat Foundation and Aghoush UK, will feature a series of charity dinners held in Manchester, London, Nottingham, Birmingham, Peterborough, and Bradford between January 23 and 27.
Kiani announced the campaign through an Instagram post on Thursday, describing the tour as a humanitarian effort to mobilise support for families left vulnerable by years of violence in Gaza. The tour will kick off in Manchester on January 23, followed by London on January 24. Nottingham and Birmingham will host events on January 25, while Peterborough and Bradford will conclude the series on January 26 and 27, respectively.
Organisers have clarified that the events are fundraising dinners rather than musical concerts, and Kiani will not be performing at any of the venues. Tickets are priced at £40 for general admission, while VIP access costs £150 per person or £1,000 for a table of 10. Children under the age of six may attend free of charge, and early-bird discounts are available for selected dates.

Kiani’s involvement in humanitarian work has earned her widespread recognition. Through her non-profit initiative, Vaseela, she led the reconstruction of three villages destroyed by the 2022 floods in Balochistan. She also played a key role in coordinating relief operations during the 2025 floods in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Her sustained commitment to social causes was internationally acknowledged when she was named among the BBC 100 Women for 2024.
Funds raised during the UK tour will be directed towards emergency relief and long-term support for Gaza’s most vulnerable families. Despite a ceasefire, the humanitarian situation in the region remains fragile, with continued violence and recent Israeli airstrikes reportedly claiming civilian lives, including journalists.
Through the campaign, Kiani hopes to amplify global awareness of the humanitarian crisis and encourage collective action. She has repeatedly stressed that sustained international support is critical to easing the suffering of widows and children affected by conflict.
