Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project for Flood Victims


   
EGM Pakistan has decided to sponsor a village comprising at least 100 houses in Northern Areas for the rehabilitation of flood affected, whose houses have been washed away by the devastating flash floods.  
The decision was made after a visit of EGM Pakistan delegation to some flood hit areas of Khyber Pakhtoonkhawa , Punjab and Sindh  Provinces. The construction of 100 Kacha houses will be carried out by EGM Pakistan Sponsors. The construction cost for one House is US 650 $ .       
Thousands of flood affecters face an imminent threat to their lives, in case they are not urgently provided food, clean water and shelter. It is not possible for government to provide relief to all the highly vulnerable displaced persons as the magnitude of the tragedy is too big for its scant resources.The worst floods in the living memory of Pakistan have killed large number of persons and uprooted thousands of people.     
We also appealed to all Sponsors to contribute donations generously to EGM Pakistan so that it could start construction of houses for displaced people as early as possible, and said that once the survival issue is resolved, the funds should be used for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the areas destroyed.
