Clean Cooking Activities

Poverty Alliance is working in FATA region of Pakistan with World Food Program and United Nation's Development Program on relief assistance to temporary displaced families of FATA after the armed conflict since 2009. The organization has implemented series of projects related to food security and livelihoods. As learnt, the armed conflict resulted in destroying household assets of displaced families and people have returned to empty houses with no basic communal infrastructure. The electricity was scarce already and is not available after the conflict.

Partnership

Poverty Alliance has strong presence in the area and can contribute to the project by providing administrative assets, allocating expert management staff and also can contribute to the cost of clean cooking products to be provided to the target vulnerable families.
