During February 2009 World Hope went to Quetta Baluchistan in the West-South of Pakistan to distribute aid in the form of food, medical kits and children’s kits to many of the thousands of people who were affected by the earthquake that struck last October.
The World Hope Network exists to bring hope to people in need. We are currently totally focused on helping those affected by the earthquakes in Baluchistan.
On Wednesday October 23 sometime before dawn, the earthquake struck killing a reported 300 people, and injuring many more. At least eight villages were badly hit by the 6.4-magnitude quake, local police and officials said, warning the death toll could rise as rescue workers reached villages in the remote mountainous region bordering Afghanistan. About 40,000 people have been made homeless and in one case, 29 members of the same family died.
World Hope Network's arm in Pakistan (World Hope Welfare Network, Pakistan) are on the ground handing out Family Kits, (food and temporary shelter) Medical Kits, and Kits for Children and offering assistance to those who are displaced.
