HUNGER RELIEF

 

According to the United Nation’s World Food Programme, 49% of Pakistanis rely on food assistance. Households in the lowest wealth quintile spend up to 60% of their household incomes on food and just under half of the population is estimated to be food insecure.

At BF we make an effort to alleviate hunger on a daily basis through our Food Support Programs and Hunger Relief.

 

At our hunger relief program we offer subsidised meals on a daily basis consisting of 2 rotis (flatbreads) and either daal (lentils) or vegetables. Once a week we include meat on the menu. Our camp is located in Rabbani Travel Wagons Stand ( Near Our Office ).

The majority of our customers are unskilled daily wage labourers who arrive in the morning near our camp and hope to get hired on a short-term basis or even just for that day. Out of approximately 250 labourers we serve daily, the average monthly earnings for each one of them is approximately PKR 3,000 (USD 29.27). Our aim is to ensure that, without making beggars out of them, we lend a helping hand by subsidising their meals.
