Starving Flood Victims Need Us
So much pain, so much helplessness, and silent dignity… !!!
Those who yesterday worked hard to earn their living are now locked inside their homes, surrounded by water from all
The recent flood in 2025 has severely affected all four provinces of Pakistan: Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Authorities have declared it one of the worst floods in decades, even worse than the previous disasters. According to NDMA, by the end of August, more than 800 people had lost their lives, including women and children, while over 1,100 people were injured. Around 2,300 villages were inundated, leaving nearly 1.5 million people affected. Thousands of homes were destroyed, 6,000+ livestock were lost, and critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges collapsed, cutting off many areas from aid. After the floodwaters receded, the suffering only worsened as people faced hunger, disease, and homelessness. Many remote villages were still waiting for help and basic necessities, making it a heart-wrenching sight. Sustainable projects and long-term rehabilitation plans are urgently needed to restore the lives and livelihoods of the flood-affected people.
Identified Problem Areas: Field assessments show multiple, overlapping challenges that keep communities in a cycle of vulnerability. The most urgent issues are outlined below.
Education & Awareness: Illiteracy is widespread, with limited exposure to the modern world and minimal awareness of rights and responsibilities. Even where there is motivation to learn, schools, trained teachers, and basic infrastructure are lacking.
Drinking Water: Access to safe, hygienic drinking water is inadequate. In several areas, people and livestock share the same water sources, contributing to waterborne diseases such as hepatitis and kidney ailments. Targeted, low-cost interventions can deliver reliable safe water at scale.
Poverty & Livelihoods: Poverty has deepened post-flood, forcing families into short-term survival. Many require stable income pathways and guidance on better earning prospects. In Balochistan and South Punjab, women’s traditional crafts can become sustainable livelihoods with training, inputs, market linkage, and fair pricing.
Shelter & Housing: Widespread housing loss has left families without protection, especially during winter. Durable, flood-resilient housing remains unfamiliar or unaffordable in many areas. Introducing affordable, disaster-resistant designs can provide lasting safety and dignity.

The Flood Relief mission of Shauoor Welfare Foundation continues with full strength. Just as our team stood with flood-affected families in Kasur and Jhung

United for Relief, Shauoor Welfare Foundation, in collaboration with Friends Club, has distributed ration packs and silage among flood-affected families.

In Jhang, more than 300 villages are drowned in water. These families were already living below the poverty line, and now their suffering has become unbearable.

The floods are destroying lives right now. Entire villages are drowning, families are stuck on rooftops, children are crying for food, and elders are waiting for medicine.

Shauoor Welfare Foundation has set up an emergency medical camp near its Lahore office to gather aid for flood-affected families and deliver it to those who have lost everything.

Floods have washed away everything – homes, clothes, and shelters.
The victims are left homeless, hungry, and helpless, waiting for support.

At the banks of River Satluj near Ganda Singh Border, hundreds of families are trapped in rising water level.
