While nearly 13% of Pakistan’s population lives on less than $1.25 a day according to the United Nations, the country’s poverty rate has dropped significantly over the past decade. Other indicators of quality of life, such as unemployment and malnutrition, are also improving, but slowly.
Pakistan also regularly experiences floods like the one in August 2020, droughts, and earthquakes, causing additional strain on the economy and affecting the livelihoods and lives of families all across the country.
With all this considered, one thing remains clear: The people of Pakistan are resilient, and with the support of donors like you, families in need there can access opportunities to break the chains of poverty and move toward success.
