Working in

Pakistan

Support is delivered to people and communities in Pakistan: food parcels, hand pumps, medical help, school costs and help in a crisis.

How we work

Four commitments that shape every decision.

  • Dignity first

    People are helped, photographed and described with respect. We do not use images or language that exploit hardship.

  • Practical help

    Support takes the form of things people can use: a food parcel, a hand pump, medicine, school fees, emergency supplies.

  • Directly delivered

    Help goes to the families and communities who need it, without conditions attached.

  • Open about our work

    Our registration details are public, and updates on completed work are published as they are verified.
