Tharparkar Famine Appeal

Respected Donoros,

Sindh province of Pakistan is marked with a high prevalence of food insecurity, malnutrition and poverty. In 2021, the food security situation further deteriorated because of high food and fuel prices, drought, and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 2.3 million people (23 percent of the rural population analysed) are estimated to be in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) and Phase 4 (Emergency) in the current period (October 2021-March 2022), corresponding to the planting/lean season. These include around 1.7 million people (17 percent of the rural population) in IPC Phase 3 and around 0.63 million people (6 percent of the rural population) in IPC Phase 4 across the nine districts analysed. All districts have at least 5 percent of their population in IPC Phase 4, and except for Badin and Dadu, the other seven districts have between 20-30 percent of their populations in IPC Phase 3 or 4. Urgent action is therefore required to protect livelihoods and reduce food consumption gaps of people in Crisis and Emergency phases of acute food insecurity. Out of the nine analysed districts, seven districts, namely Jamshoro, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar, Sujawal, Tharparakar, Thatta and Umerkot are classified in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis), whereas Badin and Dadu are classified in IPC Phase 2 (Stressed).

We at FRDP trying to reached people in of food and water, We are really thankful to your continues support and because of your donations we reached familities in tharpakar and distributed food among these poor families in the start of Holy Month Ramadan. We are requesting for your continues support of FRDP.

Respected Donors,

We are really thankful for your support, We have reached again and supported affected people in Tharparkar, as you all know that COVID 19 affected more poor people because they lost the jobs also another challenge that people of Tharparkar mostly go for work in big cities to earn the bread for there families because since last many years there are no proper rains in the so people can grow their food. We have not only targeted poor but mostly affected families who are suffering more because of the drought and covid. so we have distributed food among them last week, there were very happy and praying for the donors who supported them in these hard times.

If you have any feedback please do let us know. 

Thanks

Respected Donors,

Greetings from FRDP!

I hope this update finds you and your loved ones in good health. I want to begin by recognizing how challenging it’s been to care for ourselves and our families with the many important events unfolding around us—from crucial racial justice conversations to monitoring COVID-19 infection rates, and keeping up with health advisories as well as reopening protocols and projections for the future.

Thank you for donations, we have provided monthly groceries to poor people which includes old aged people, widows, disabled at Khairpur. Our staff and volunteers and local partner together visited the different villages to collect the information as per our criteria, we have selected 50 families mostly women home-based workers, those been suffering from food shortages because they lost their work due to COVID. Needs still high but as we get donations and we reach those families to provide them food for one month.

We would love to hear your feedback, comments & Suggestion on our program. Please reach out to us at info@frdp.org.pk

In gratitude and solidarity,
