A powerful earthquake struck the India-Pakistan border on October 8, 2005. With a magnitude of
7.6 on the Richter scale, it was the worst natural disaster to hit the region in decades. As a
result of the quake, more than 75,000 people were killed, 80,000 injured, and over 2.5 million
people were left homeless. While still in the emergency phases of the disaster, there is a need
for a long-term recovery and restoration program to help local people restore both their
livelihoods and communities through shelter construction, provision of educational facilities
and health programs.

inadequate shelters continues to change, there is a need of medical staff and volunteers treat

households. there is a need for restoring livelihoods by providing oxen and goats to women
