So what can be done to help them and how would anyone know about them ?

Also, research should be done about charities before giving. The websites of some charities may be old and the charities may be defunct, not to mention there is always a chance of fraud.

usually, if you look at their circumstances you’ll come to know about their miserable financial state. a close knit society [without being nosy] is desired/encouraged in Islam through masjid/neighbourhood watch groups and elders.

i know a family in India for instance. the father a lawyer] is paralyzed due to a road accident, two sons are mentally retarded, two of the 4 daughters are married. they have NO income but they never asked for help. when we looked at their situation, we talked to them with respect and love. they accepted help and our family helps on a monthly basis.

it’s easy in India, Pakistan to look around and find out who is a genuinely needy!
