Chitral Times Report
ISLAMABAD: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has initiated a vital project aimed at distributing 25,000 Shelter NFIs (Non-Food Items) and 25,000 winter kits across Pakistan. The project is planned to be implemented in four phases providing help to individuals who have been affected by recent floods and are in need of assistance. This collaborative effort is being conducted in partnership with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
This year, Pakistan has faced a critical situation due to life-threatening floods caused by exceptionally heavy monsoon rains. These floods have significantly impacted a large number of people in various regions of the country. The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has been actively engaged in providing essential aid in these flood-affected areas, extending a helping hand to the affected population as they strive to cope with the aftermath of this devastating natural disaster.
In the first phase of winter package, we are distributing a total of 25,000 winter kits across three provinces. These kits will be strategically allocated as follows: In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), we aim to provide 11,000 kits to communities residing in five districts, including Chitral Upper, Chitral Lower, Dir Upper, Kohistan Upper, and SWAT Upper. Meanwhile, in the province of Baluchistan, 8,000 kits will be dispatched to areas encompassing Kalat, Surab, Killa Saifullah, and Ziarat. Furthermore, in the coldest region of Gilgit Baltistan, 6,000 kits will be distributed, catering to the needs of Ghizer, Astor, and Gupis Yasin. These essential packages encompass a total of 50,000 Polyester Quilts and 25,000 winter kits, thoughtfully designed to include warm shawls for both men and women, as well as clothing tailored to keep children and adults warm during the cold winter months.
This Project will be executed with utmost transparency, in close collaboration with key stakeholders including NDMA, UN missions, and provincial government authorities. This collaborative effort aims to ensure that the benefits of this project reach well over 350,000 individuals in need.
