Summary

[edit]
Description

Farmers affected by last year's flooding in Pakistan display their ID cards and vouchers entitling them to an allocation of seed fertiliser in Khandkot, Sindh province.

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 of 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, people affected by the floods are receiving up to four bags of fertilizer and 30kg of rice seeds, thanks to help from UK aid. They are given a voucher which they can redeem at a choice of approved seed shops.

The UK is supporting this scheme in conjunction with USAID, Cordaid, Caritas Germany and the Canadian Catholic Organisation for Development and Peace. The implementing partner in Pakistan is the NGO Catholic Relief Services.
