Paksef in collaboration with Pakistan Maholiati Tahaffuz Movement is kickstarting the Balochistan Flood Relief Campaign 2022 to support the flood-hit coastal areas in Balochistan, Pakistan.

The relief campaign is aimed to support flood affectees of Uthal, Lakhara, and Orkie for starters.

The priority is to collect donations for medium-term rehabilitation for now as most have lost furniture, utensils, etc. We are helping with rations too, but these are perishable and many organizations are focusing on them.
