Sewa Foundation
Sewa Food Relief Program
In the 2022 Global Hunger Index, Pakistan ranks 99th out of 121 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2022 GHI scores. With a score of 26.1, Pakistan has a level of hunger that is serious.
In Pakistan, about 20% of the population is undernourished. This equates to nearly 40 million people who are not getting enough nutrients on a daily basis. This is nearly double the percentage of people worldwide who are undernourished.
Poverty and food insecurity are inextricably linked. Nearly a quarter of Pakistanis live below the poverty line. In 2019, natural disasters like drought and heavy rainfall in Pakistan affected the livelihood of millions of people. In mid-2019, a drought caused acute food insecurity in the populations of seven districts, over one million people.

- Provide, refugees, the homeless, and all types of needy people with assistance and support at the time of crisis to meet their most urgent needs.

- Initially, SEWA FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROJECT will distribute food to 500 needy and marginalized people twice a week in hospitals and other designated public places.
