ABKT's Flood Relief & Rehabilitation Initiative is a much-needed project that can provide critical support to the communities affected by the 2022 devastating floods in Pakistan. The project aims to address the immediate needs of the affected population i.e. food & dignity kits & also provide long-term rehabilitation support to restore income generation activities of the affected communities. The project focuses on two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan, namely Lower Dir, & Upper Dir.
Since August 2022, Pakistan has experienced heavy rainfall causing severe flooding & landslides, resulting in displacement & destruction across the country. The govt of Pakistan has officially declared 66 districts as "calamity affected," emphasising the gravity of the situation. The floods have caused extensive losses to agriculture & livestock, leading to food insecurity & adversely affecting the country's already fragile economy. Pakistan requires immediate support to aid relief efforts.
The project aims to provide relief and rehabilitation assistance to flood-affected communities in two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan i.e. Lower Dir and Upper Dir. The project's primary focus is to meet the immediate needs of the affected population, including food and dignity kits. Additionally, it aims to provide long-term rehabilitation support to restore income generation activities of the affected communities.
The overall potential long-term impact of the ABKT project is to contribute to the sustainable livelihoods and development of the 480 families from the affected communities in the Lower Dir and Upper Dir districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. By addressing the immediate needs of the affected families and providing long-term sustainable livelihoods and development support, the project will help build community resilience, increase self-sufficiency, and reduce vulnerability to future disasters.
