Pakistan’s poverty rate has decreased in recent years. However, the country’s current economic crisis, mixed with its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, has put many Pakistani citizens out of jobs. This has further increased the poverty rate. The government of Pakistan is doing its best to fight both the COVID-19 pandemic and poverty in Pakistan. So far the government has provided many social welfare programs at a scale that they have never done in history until now. However, there is so much more to do in order for the country to defeat poverty.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the poverty-stricken citizens in Pakistan. These people consist of women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities. They are far more likely to suffer from malnutrition and their health may be weak. Thus, the virus has spread in poverty-stricken communities faster.
We have been working in collaboration with Global Humanitarian Relief Foundation (GHRF) for five years. We have supported each other’s efforts to help as many people as possible. Since 2020 we have successfully carried out the following:
- 11 water pumps for families living in abject poverty.
- Sewing machines and vocational training.
- Microfinance grants for people to set up businesses.
- Winter grants and clothing for the elderly.
- Food and practical aid to widows and orphans.
