While our work in Pakistan continues rapidly, we continue to work on new projects. In addition to various aids in Pakistan, which we focused on with the flood disaster in the past months, we distributed hot meals to 1,300 children. Let alone meat, these children hardly have access to a normal meal they can eat in daily life.
Pakistan has the second-largest economy in South Asia, but its growth has been constrained by inequality, poverty, conflict, and insufficient access to fundamental social services. Due to the nation’s susceptibility to frequent climate shocks like floods and droughts, millions of people are at risk of becoming hungry and are in need of humanitarian aid. Millions of Afghan refugees have also taken refuge in Pakistan.
According to the 2022 Global Hunger Index, Pakistan ranks ninety-ninth out of one hundred and twenty-one countries. In a country of two hundred and seven million people, about twenty percent of the population is malnourished. Forty-four percent of children younger than five years of age experience developmental delay. Malnutrition is caused by the economic problems in the region.
Keep supporting us. Together, let’s deliver food to many more needy people. We have the power to fight hunger. Let’s share our food with our brothers.
