Pak Mission Society is mitigating the aftermaths of disasters through an integrated project of WASH, Livlihood and DRR in a disaster prone area of Rajanpur. This scheme is designed to include disadvantaged and flood-vulnerable agricultural communities living and working in the 40 targeted villages. The total number of benefecaries facilitated through this project are 8,400 indiviuals. The targeted communites are flood-vulnerable and rely primarily on agriculture and livestock for their livelihood. Rajanpur, located in Southern Punjab is vulnerable to flash floods. The community is suffering from the aftermaths of disasters due to lack of knowledge and inability to cope. These disasters have left the residents with socio economic maraginalzation.

With the aim to make communities resilient, the project team holds health and hygiene sessions, promotes sustinable livliood oppurtunities through kitchen gardening and takes measures to reduce disaster by construction or rehabilitation of diversion walls and water channels. Community based Disaster Risk Management trainings will be conducted to create awareness. Village Development Committees (VDCs) and Operational and Maintenenace (O&M) committees are formed to ensure the sustainability of the project.
