Project Overview

Preventing malnutrition-related morbidity and mortality among children under 5 and providing care for those who are suffering from malnutrition, particularly acute malnutrition.

Project Background

On June 23 2007, Cyclone Yemyin struck Pakistan and was followed by several days of monsoon rain. The resulting floods affected over 2 million people in the province of Balochistan. Two hundred and thirteen people were killed, vital crops were washed away, government infrastructure destroyed and thousands left homeless.

Project Objectives:

To provide relief to flood victims.

Project Activities:

  • Treating existing cases of infant malnutrition.
  • Educating communities on the importance of good nutrition.

    • 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.
