Your Generous and Valuable contribution will provide immediate relief to the Millions of flood victims in Pakistan. The scale of devastation is colossal, setting the nation back by decades. It is imperative that we respond urgently with determination and unity.

Pakistan Flood Relief
Friendship International Pakistan is currently providing medical health care, food and water relief. We are also assessing the remote mountain villages for feasibility of providing chairlifts and need for floating structures like rafts, boats, which is an areas of expertise for Friendship.

Flood Situation
The devastating floods in Pakistan have already affected an estimated 15.4 million people. As the water moves downstream, region-by-region north to south through the Indus and its tributaries, millions more lives could be affected. As the water recedes from each area, it leaves behind a trail of destruction. More than two million houses are damaged or destroyed; infrastructure is in shambles as bridges and roads are swept away; and livelihoods have been severely disrupted.

Friendship International Pakistan is a Humanitarian organization specializing in working in difficult to reach areas, piloting and setting up innovative replicable basic infrastructural units especially for primary health, extending in many places to secondary health. We are a service delivery organization and assist and advice other organizations on practical working health systems.

What has been done
Friendship International, Pakistan has been running two medical camps in Utman Zai and Shabra of Charsadda district in Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.  The medical camps have been organized after completing a survey of the two areas where it was founded that the disaster had moved from relief to the rehabilitation stage. 
The medical camps continue to provide valuable primary health services to survivors of the flood who have been displaced from their homes.  A mobile dispensary, stationed in Mardan is used to provide medical services in the two locations.  The medical camps are run by two doctors, two paramedics, two female health workers and a supervisor.  Each day on average 175 patients including women and children receive medical services from the staff at the camps.
Depending on resources, there are plans to set up one or two more camps in Nowshera district of the same province.
