Pakistan

In Pakistan, many people do not have reliable access to clean drinking water, and natural disasters, high inflation and a lack of income opportunities further exacerbate their situation. Despite its own economic challenges, the country has been taking in refugees from Afghanistan for more than 40 years. Even after the Taliban took power in 2021, many Afghans are once again seeking refuge in Pakistan, often under very difficult conditions.

AWO International works together with Solidar Suisse and local partner organizations in Pakistan to support Afghan refugees and people affected by natural disasters. The focus is on humanitarian aid, such as after the floods in 2022, and on projects to improve the living conditions of refugees.

Disaster Response and Building Future Resilience in Pakistan

In August 2022, massive floods in Pakistan submerged more than two-thirds of the country. Together with Solidar Suisse and the two Pakistani non-governmental organizations SCF and SAFWCO, we are supporting people in the hardest-hit regions to rebuild their livelihoods and strengthen their resilience to future natural disasters.
