Why are we in Pakistan? Around 60% of Pakistan’s total population are facing food insecurity, while 44% of children under five years of age are chronically malnourished. Population displacement due to insecurity and natural disasters has been a major humanitarian concern for the past several years.
Pakistan continues to face extreme poverty, inequality, recurrent disasters and security challenges.
Ranking low on the Human Development Index, 29.5% of its population lives below the poverty line. Widespread income and gender inequalities are preventing the extremely poor from accessing services and taking up opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. Pakistan also faces a multitude of natural and complex disasters, further increasing vulnerabilities. Climate change, food insecurity and malnutrition are the key challenges that the extremely poor face in Pakistan.
