Then in 2015, flooding and other natural catastrophe, left this area behind than the other parts of world. This area has remained vulnerable to natural disasters because of its geographic location. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously struck this area. Due to lock down in major cities of Pakistan many people lost their job and facing difficulties to meet daily needs. We are working to provide them all household necessary items. Daily wagers are the most affected part of society. This pandemic has fallen over them badly.

We have started different charitable projects to help them in these bad times.
