Working in Pakistan since before the floods, our work consists of new home construction for families who have been left with nothing after the floods, food aid distributions for remote villages, providing clean water to over 500 families and Eyesight Cataract Operations for those left blind.
Pakistan has recently been affected by violent earthquakes and floods, and has inefficient energy resources (such as natural gas) and insufficient power supplies.
Our Projects
- The recent floods have left thousands of families in temporary accommodation, housed in tent camps, where infections and viruses spread very fast
- Families Relief is building homes to allow families to start rebuilding their livelihoods. Provide a safe place for families to live and grow, while adults are able to recreate their livelihoods
- We have so far built 50 new homes in Tehsil Kot Addu and District Muzaffargarh. Help us build another 100 homes this year

- Cataracts typically cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated. The condition usually affects both eyes, but almost always one eye is affected earlier than the other
- Approximately 570,000 adults are estimated to be blind as a result of cataract in Pakistan, and 3,560,000 eyes have a visual acuity of because of cataract. Overall, the national surgical coverage is acute with many individual unable to pay for the surgery to restore their eye sight
- In partnership with Janat Aziz Eye Hospital, Families Relief wishes to sponsor 200 surgeries in the villages near Tehsil Burewala District
- These surgeries will not only give sight to those blinded or partially blinded, but will also give them the opportunity to earn a livelihood for their families and dependents.
