Project Overview

Since 2009, Islamic Relief has been working in Pakistan to provide assistance to the millions of people displaced as a result of fighting in the North West Frontier Province.

Project Background

In April 2009 increased fighting in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan caused a new wave of people to flee from their homes. Around 3 million people from Swat, Buner and Dir, have so far been displaced, most settling in the Districts of Mardan and Swabi.

Project Objectives:

To offer support and relief to those affected by the increased fighting in the North West Frontier Province.

Project Activities:

In the North West Frontier Province, Islamic Relief helps displaced people by offering:

  • Emergency aid
  • Healthcare
  • Sanitation facilities
  • Access to clean water
  • Access to community centres offering healthcare, counselling, education and activities for children.
  • 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.
