| Description |
Two million acres of crops were destroyed in last year’s floods in Pakistan. The UK has helped approximately 895,000 people get back on their feet and off dependency on food aid by providing seeds, fertilisers, and tools. This allows them to grow their own food for their families to eat, or to sell some to earn a small amount of money and try to return to normal life. In Sindh poor people affected by the floods are receiving up to four bags of fertilizer and 30kg of rice seeds, thanks to help from UKaid. They are given a voucher which they can redeem at any of their choice of approved seed shops Nanikram Tharani, owner of Sindh Fertilizer Agency in Khandkot city, explains how UK aid is making a difference: “This is changing the lives of families here. It helps them get on their own feet again, and in a few months they’ll be able to manage their finances by themselves and not rely on aid. If there is no help people need to borrow money on high interest to buy seeds, or even get involved in worse things; stealing or robbing. We pray floods like this will not happen again to Pakistan, but appreciate efforts of people in the UK, and we’re thankful to them.” To find out more about how the UK is helping in Pakistan, please visit: www.dfid.gov.uk/Media-Room/Features/2011/Pakistan-floods-...
