Providing Food Security for Impoverished Families in Pakistan

Recent high inflation in Pakistan has affected all sectors of society, and those who were already living below the poverty line have been pushed to a state of crisis. RI’s project is providing vulnerable communities in Shangla and Bunair with agricultural inputs to help them cultivate the land that would otherwise lie fallow, while simultaneously providing immediate relief through wheat distributions.

Since October of 2008, Relief International has provided 8,000 families from approximately 80 to 100 villages across the two districts with 400 metric tons (MT) of wheat seed, 80 MT of lentil seed, 8,000 bags of vegetable seed inputs, and 400 MT of both DAP and urea. In addition RI has distributed 1600 MT of wheat among families under food support and held a number of trainings in conjunction with local Government Agricultural Department Officers.
