Singer Hadiqa Kiani has been working on philanthropic causes for some time now, often being a prominent face for relief efforts whenever Pakistan is struck by natural calamities, such as floods and earthquakes.

For her latest project, the star has joined hands with the AlKhidmat Foundation and Aghoush UK for a series of fundraising dinners in the UK to raise funds for widows and orphans affected by Israeli atrocities in Gaza. She announced the six stops of the tour in an Instagram post on Thursday.

Kiani is set to make her first appearance in Manchester on January 23, followed by a dinner in London the next day. On Jan 25, she’ll be making a daytime stop in Nottingham before heading on to Birmingham later in the day. The last two dinner stops will be Peterborough and Bradford on Jan 26 and 27.

Tickets for the events are available with the campaign’s UK partner, Aghosh. General admission tickets are available for £40 with VIP tickets costing £150 apiece or £1,000 for a table of 10, children under six years of age eat for free.

Early bird discounts are available for later shows while tickets for the London and Manchester shows are available at a 25 per cent discount. On their website, the organisers have clarified that Kiani will not be singing at any of the stops.

The singer’s social work has shown tangible effects, especially in Balochistan, where her foundation Vaseela reconstructed three villages that had been devastated by floods in 2022. Her efforts were recognised globally, with the BBC adding her to their 100 Women list for 2024. She also gathered and distributed relief supplies when floods hit Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in the summer of 2025.

Meanwhile in Gaza, the situation remains tense months after a ceasefire brought a supposed end to Israel’s brutal two-year war on the occupied territory which killed at least 67,000 people. Israeli airstrikes have continued, with the latest on Wednesday killing 11 people, including three journalists.
