In the summer of 2022, Pakistan experienced some of the worst floods in its history. Lives were lost and livelihoods and homes destroyed. One in seven of the population were affected.

The DEC Pakistan Floods Appeal raised £50 million from the generous UK public, including £5 million matched by the UK Government. DEC charities reached more than 3 million people* with aid over our two-year response. Supported communities are now stronger, more resilient and better equipped to face future climate disasters.

Thanks to your donations, 11 DEC charities delivered vital aid directly and through local partners in Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.

In the initial response, DEC funds provided emergency food, shelter, winter survival items and cash support to families who lost their homes and belongings.

Over the past two years, flood-affected communities have received access to essential facilities including clean water and healthcare, as well as help to restore their livelihoods through training and grants, with an emphasis on longer-term recovery and resilience.
