Project Overview

Distribution of food.

Project Background

Balochistan is the biggest province of Pakistan and Chaghi is the biggest district of Balochistan. It shares its international borders with Afghanistan and Iran. There has been a dry spell in Chaghi since 1997, with very little rainfall. The area’s agriculture and vegetation is dependent on rain and the decreasing levels of rain have meant that people can no longer cultivate their land or feed their livestock. This has led to high levels of food insecurity.

Project Objectives:

To offer relief to those affected by the drought.

Project Activities:

  • Distributing food.

    • How Islamic Relief Helps

    Islamic Relief is an international aid agency that works in over 25 countries worldwide.

    Our work covers emergency preparedness, full-scale disaster response, rehabilitation and long-term development projects.

    Over the years IR has provided communities with public services, such as water and education. We have now moved towards a ‘rights-based approach’, helping communities to become self-sufficient and encouraging them to expect their governments to provide adequate public services.

    IR works in partnership with communities, aid agencies, local organisations and governments.
