ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has launched a project in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to strengthen livelihoods and boost food security for vulnerable rural households through livestock distribution and training programs, the organization said on Tuesday.
The initiative, titled “Economic Empowerment of Vulnerable Households in Pakistan through Livestock Provision,” is being implemented in partnership with the province’s Relief, Rehabilitation and Settlement Department (RRSD), the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), and local partner Peace and Development Organization (PADO).
The initiative aims to reduce poverty and promote self-reliance among families affected by economic hardship and past natural disasters by providing livestock, poultry and practical training in animal care and small-scale income generation.
“This project reflects the strong brotherly ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and demonstrates KSrelief’s ongoing commitment to empowering vulnerable communities and promoting sustainable livelihoods,” Abdullah Al-Baqami, Director of KSrelief Pakistan, said in a statement.
