COVID-19 Ration Support

The economic slowdown caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected individuals living below the poverty line, who account for nearly 25% of Pakistan’s population. Laborers and daily-wage workers were particularly impacted, as the pandemic severely disrupted their ability to earn a livelihood and support their families. For many vulnerable households, access to food became an immediate and critical need. Through our ration distribution efforts, KWA was able to provide essential food supplies to families facing these unprecedented challenges.

During the global pandemic, we have made significant efforts to provide resources for the ultra-poor residing in rural areas of Pakistan. Our beneficiaries reside in rural areas within Thatta District, Sindh Province of Pakistan. As the country transitioned into a state of lockdown in March of 2020 to battle the COVID-19 outbreak, local non-profit organizations like KWA played an integral role in stemming the economic burden on low-income families by providing them rations (food) and means to obtain medical assistance.

Due to the numerous donors and supporters globally, KWA exceeded its goal of providing rations in just its first day of awareness! Over the course of three months, we raised enough funds to distribute rations for up to fourteen days at a time to over 3000 households across hundreds of villages in the Thatta District. Our goal is to continue supporting those in dire need, so they have essential resources for survival in place to combat the unforeseen effects of the pandemic.
