Providing shelter
10 September 2006
IR has provided over 24,000 earthquake-resistant shelters
As winter began to approach, we distributed winterised shelters that ensured better protection from the freezing temperatures. Since December 2005, over 24,000 earthquake-resistant shelters have been provided for families in Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, Bagh, Dhirkot, Forward Kahuta and Neelum Valley.
Working with the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund, we have also agreed to support the reconstruction of 4,500 houses in earthquake affected areas. Damage-assessment surveys have already been carried out in four areas and over 1,900 local carpenters, plumbers, masons and electricians are being trained in how to build earthquake-resistant houses. Ten mobile training teams, each with a female community development officer have been delivering this reconstruction training in preparation for the start of the house building process.
