A highly populated country, Pakistan is also host to one of the largest refugee populations in the world (1.4 million). In addition to the struggle to overcome widespread poverty, vulnerable communities are regularly forced to contend with the effects of earthquakes and droughts. Reconstruction costs in the aftermath have placed additional stresses on Pakistan’s fragile economy and on local families. Those in rural areas especially suffer from deprivation – many live in some of the most challenging terrains in the world, making it almost impossible for them to access clean water and healthcare.
Pakistan is the sixth most populated country in the world, and children make up almost half of its population. Poverty is a huge problem, with 45% of its workers earning less than $2 a day. Parts of Pakistan, especially in rural areas, suffer from a wide range of issues including food, water, and medical shortages. GRT has been working with our partners in the country to build a hospital that will benefit the people in the community significantly as they will.
