When a disaster hits the world it, too often, results in a drastic change in the socio-economic landscape of the disaster-affected society at large and loss of lives. COVID-19, earthquake, displaced Afghan refugees are all examples of disasters to which PMS responded in exemplary ways becoming the hope for affected and assisting them in the post-disaster rehabilitation process. PMS responded by providing relief materials, involvement in rescue operations, arranging temporary shelters, organizing health camps, and developing communication facilities. Refugees often remain deprived their whole lives. Old age further adds to the inescapable hardships. Ahmed Khan – aged 66 – has spent his entire life as a cobbler living in the camps since the Soviet Union war. Old age, the declining health of his wife, meager earnings all added to the ordeals. When the Pak Mission Society team intervened in the Khurasan camp, in Peshawar; he was selected as a beneficiary for receiving the ration package as he fulfilled the criteria for the humanitarian aid.
