FLOOD RELIEF APPEAL
UPDATE JANUARY 2026
KK’s flood relief work continues with providing vital supplied, medical suppoort and so on. Updates are now available through FROK newsletters and also through KK’s website.
UPDATE 25th September
Since the devastating August 2025 floods, Khwendo Kor (KK) has been providing urgent humanitarian aid in 4 districts of Khyber Pakhtoonkhawa (Buner, Swabi, Mansehra and Peshawar, all of whom are KK’s working districts) with the financial support of CRA, FROK and individual national philanthropists.
KK formed an emergency relief team who ensured coordination with stakeholders including the government relevant departments (to acquire NOC) and the National Humanitarian Network (NHN) for sharing information. Field visits were made and rapid needs assessments were conducted. Food and non-food items were provided immediately to 210 families. The needs assessments found that the affected population, especially women and women-headed families, children and disabled people, were in dire need of cash assistance, first aid, health & hygiene services, and support in reconstructing their fully or partially damaged houses. Achievements to date include:
- Provided food, non-food items and hygiene kits to a population of 2,600, mainly women, in Buner, Swabi, HariPur and Peshawar.
- Established formal collaboration with a local organisation called Buner Social Public Development Organisation based in district Buner. BSPDO has helped with the identification and registration of families needing support and organizing of distribution points.
- A local focal person has been selected to represent KK in various meetings and events; they will be stationed at Additional Deputy Commissioner Buner office.
- A medical service provider organisation has been engaged to provide doctors and medical technicians for medical camps in all 4 districts (8 in total) in late September/early October.
- Cash assistance has been distributed to a further 60 families to repair partially damaged houses and ensure shelter.
- Further cash assistance is planned for October 2025
UPDATE – 25.8.2025
Food distribution is now working well so KK have moved on to the next lot of needs which is for warmer clothing, blankets, sweaters, basic medicines, sanitary pads. These will now be distributed in the affected KK’s working areas.
MID AUGUST
In the recent mid August devastating floods in Pakistan, there has been major loss of life, and the impact has been immense. Khalid Usman, Khwendo Kor’s Director of Operations, has said that thousands of people have been injured or have died. Those who escaped the floods have no roof, no food or drinking water, and have other critical health needs. The districts where KK works, including Buner, Dir, and Malakand, are the most affected. KK has responded immediately to the needs of the communities with cooked food, drinking water, baby milk, and immediate medical support, and are co-ordinating their work with other emergency and relief services.

SAVE THE DATE Our 2025 AGM will be held in Coventry on the afternoon of Saturday 14th June. Fuller details available for members nearer the time.
Viable Communities for Climate Resilience: Groundbreaking New Programme is announced
Khwendo Kor (KK) and Climate Resilience for All (CRA – https://www.climateresilience.org/ ) have agreed to work collaboratively to develop and deliver sustainable community-based solutions that help women and their communities to deal with the mounting impact of climate change and in particular extreme heat.
As an initial stage, CRA, KK and UK Friends of Khwendo Kor (FROK) have devised a one year intervention plan that will build on KK’s existing expertise in engaging women & their communities and develop a Climate Change Resilience programme in 3 districts of northwest Pakistan. This will then underpin an ambitious programme that will scale up to cover more geographic areas and wider aspects of climate resilience, and act as a beacon of good practice.
Baseline research commissioned by KK in early 2024 showed that women in KK’s working areas are being particularly affected by climate change due to socio-economic factors, cultural norms, and limited access to resources. Its identified unmet needs included:
- easy access to local supplies of clean water and culturally appropriate sanitation
- climate resilient gender-specific livelihoods, including agriculture
- robust local maternity services (pregnant women are particularly affected) and community health services
- effective partnership approaches between local authorities and other stakeholders and the communities they serve
- education and awareness programmes for climate change mitigation and adaptation tailored to the local context
- robust and gender-sensitive disaster risk response and management plans for climate emergencies
The research concluded that adopting gender-inclusive approaches with women at the core of decision-making and planning was of paramount importance.
KK is an ideal partner for a project with these aims. Its experience of successfully engaging communities and especially women in this geopolitically sensitive, conservative and dangerous part of the world where poverty, maternal & infant mortality levels are high and literacy is low is deep and remarkable. They have the respect of potential partners and stakeholders, including in local government and health sectors, and are widely known for their integrity and transparency. They have managed and successfully delivered both service delivery and reconstruction projects at small and large scales. By partnering with an international agency focussed on women and climate resilience, KK is well placed to lead on the roll out of this essential work.
In the initial phase, KK will target 15 villages in 3 districts across Bannu, Karak, and Peshawar, using its Viable Village approach. Each village will, with KK’s help, form a women’s organisation and a men’s organisation and identify climate change leaders, conduct a needs appraisal and develop Village Development Plans (VDPs) which will have community-based climate resilience solutions at their core. They will then in turn work with other villages within their wider Village Council area to formulate Village Council Development Plans (VCDPs). KK will also, crucially, set up District and Provincial level Climate Adaptation Networks (DCANs and PCANs) which will include other stakeholders, particularly local authorities and line departments, whose participation will be essential for the programme to succeed. Work in these groups and with potential funders will shape proposals for further funding and a strategy to achieve it.
This approach will provide the basis for a scalable long-term Climate Resilience Programme that is co-produced with local communities, stakeholders and local & international funders and that has women at its core. The aim is to provide a serious response to a key problem of our times.

The 2023 FROK AGM was held on the afternoon of Saturday 17th June in Coventry.
Our guest speaker this year was Dr Aisha Malik, speaking on ‘Gendered decision-making and medical treatments – Experiences from Pakistan’ . The meeting was OPEN TO ALL.
KK held their mid term strategic review workshop in Peshawar in April. Marilyn Crawshaw (FROK Chair) and Naeema Hann (FROK Vice Chair) were delighted to be able to attend.

Update late October 2022 – We have now closed our Appeal and are delighted that it raised more than £10,000. You can still donate to FROK via our Just Giving page or through the Ways To Help tab. KK continues to help flood-affected communities through medical camps and distribution of food, hygiene kits and winter warm clothing. Maryam Bibi writes of a recent field visit she made to Dir Upper and we include a part of it here:
“……..On my way to go inside a house in Village Patrak I had to walk on mud tracks and saw that the crops belonging to local families were totally washed away by floods. I was welcomed by a house wife in her late thirties but she looked much older and she took me inside her house which was half demolished……….. Diseases are spreading and treatment facilities are hard to access especially for women and children….. and at our medical camp in Shirin Gul … It was amazing to see that as a result of advance announcements a huge number of women, children and men had gathered …..Most of the diseases the patients were complaining of included diabetics, scabies, worms, breast cancer, anemia, weakness, depression, throat and chest problems, and urinary track related issues and gynecological issues. Poor women were provided with hygiene kits each kit consisted of towel, soap, sanitary material and a few other items………..I saw many elderly who were suffering from, arthritis, diabetics, and throat and chest problems……….”… and much more
Update 23rd Sept 2022 – as the floods start to recede, so do health problems start to rise. Our Appeal remains open (see below). KK is using FROK’s help to provide medical camps and they told us:
“On Sep 22, 2022, Khwendo Kor organized a free medical camp for flood-hit communities at Geedar Kalay, district Charsadda with the support of UK-Friends of KK (UK-FROK) to treat and facilitate affected families in the worst time. The area was identified with the coordination of the Federal Ombudsperson secretariat for Protection against Harassment. The medical camp was focused on the health needs of flood affectees, especially women and children. Medical staff including three female and three male doctors volunteered their services and performed comprehensive check-ups on patients.
As a result of the medical camp, a total of 245 patients including 94 women, 84 children, and 67 men have been treated with free medicine. The majority were suffering from fever, cough, skin infection, anaemia, and gastroenteritis. Antenatal and postnatal mothers were also attended and 3 were referred to a major hospital for advanced treatment.”

Update 7.9.2022 – We have just received the following direct accounts from women affected by the devastation, stressing the urgency of the need:
Ms. Taj Meena aged 35 years; belong to Gulshan Abad UC Agra, district Charsadda said that “my house’s boundary walls and latrine system, clothes, utensils, and furniture are destroyed during the flood. We have no clean water and no food items. But I am ready to voluntarily work with KK to collect and verify the data of deserving women & children in district Charsadda especially in UC Agra to provide effective support to them.”
Ms. Amina aged 40 years from Sheikh Abad UC Agra, district Charsadda told the KK team member, that “today I am very sad because our all quilts and mattresses are damaged by flood water & mud, and we cannot reuse them and I am worried about the upcoming cold weather. We have no clothes, no utensils, and no shoes. We request KK to provide us support at our doorstep with the help of women staff. . Because many people brought different things to the roadside and street where many men and boys from other areas collect all the relief items and take home and we are still deprived. We want support from Khwendo Kor inside our home without any photos or video.”
Razia, aged 50 years from Sheikh Abad, UC Agra , district Charsadda , said “I am a widow, working with my other family members since morning to take out water from our rooms, and now too tired and hungry and having nothing to eat. I was praying to Allah that someone gives me at least one glass of water or a cup of tea to relieve my hunger. When I saw the cooked food (rice) and clean water I am very thankful to Allah and KK for this timely support. My request is to give us some cash so we can fulfill our needs whatever and when we want.”
URGENT – UPDATE 6.9.22 – KK is working hard to support those affected by floods in its working areas…….
…….alongside continuing its day to day work in those areas thankfully not affected where, of course, the need remains dire. They have now formed 4 main teams for the relief effort which include volunteers alongside existing staff. They have conducted a rapid assessment and have already provided cooked food, clean drinking water and medicines to around 300 people including women and children in 2 districts. On 5th September, they allocated PKR 1 million (approx. £3,900) for medical camps and provision of dry rations and hygiene kits using in part the money raised by the FROK Appeal and national philanthropists. They are working closely with other organisations, networks, government and UN clusters.

Human Writes: Pakistani Women’s Writing
14.00-15.00 (GMT) on Sat 14 Nov
In this 30 minute talk, followed by a Q&A session, Professor Claire Chambers and Sauleha Kamal of the University of York UK will provide a reader’s guide to the burgeoning field of Pakistani women’s writing. They will argue that recent Pakistani cultural production by women has shown a distinct turn towards human rights discourse. Women writers and filmmakers are increasingly representing minorities’ precarious position in contemporary Pakistan, and many of them also explore fierce debates about human rights, Islam, and cultural relativism. Claire will walk you through how fiction, film and poetry by Pakistani women claim to put the human into human rights. Sauleha Kamal will join Claire in discussing the extent to which the exposure of these women to the international scene affects how they are received and who they influence. Both speakers will also discuss how their work might impact on the work of organisations such as Khwendo Kor in rural areas and how spaces could be created for indigenous women writers.
Claire Chambers is Professor of Global Literature at the University of York. She is the author of British Muslim Fictions (2011), Britain through Muslim Eyes (2015), and Making Sense of Contemporary British Muslim Novels (2019). She has also published a collection of her essays entitled Rivers of Ink (2017). Finally, she co-edited Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora (2015) and A Match Made in Heaven (2020). Her research has been supported by funding from HEFCE, the British Academy,the Leverhulme Trust and the AHRC. Claire is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, acts as Editor-in-Chief (with Rachael Gilmour) of the Journal of Commonwealth Literature, and writes a regular column for Dawn’s Books and Authors.

Read below for a recent report (mid May) from KK on their work:
Khwendo Kor’s Humanitarian Work for the COVID-19 Response
Humanitarian response is one of main components of KK programs. KK was actively engaged in supporting the affected people of 2005 earthquake, floods in 2010-11, and the temporary displaced people as a result of man-made and natural disasters.
The current pandemic spread of corona virus has made the entire world vulnerable, and so far no one has been able to come up with a universal solution such as that of polio vaccine. In addition number of deaths due to this are alarming than ever.
COVID -19 has badly hit all segments of society without any discrimination of wealth, color, religion, and gender. Poor have become poorer, people have lost jobs and revenues and economies are collapsing.
Khwendo Kor’s working communities include Urban communities of diversified faiths and culture, rural communities of merged districts and semi urban communities mainly in KP.
Khwendo Kor despite its limited resources has initiated COVID-19 response work with following strategies.
- Food distribution.
- Cash distribution
- Integration of C-19 in to Peace building project supported by NCA.
- Provision of Hygiene facility in school.
1- Food distribution:
The wave of COID-19 is increasingly making more and more people helpless, especially the daily wagers are in critical situation. Thousands of daily wagers are jobless due to lockdown and closure of businesses.
KK had started serving cooked food to the drug users even before C-19 and none of the daily wagers would join the drug users. After C-19, many daily wagers who become jobless, have started eating the food along with the drug users.
In-order to feed the jobless laborers KK has started serving cooked food exclusively for them. Presently, Iftar dinners are prepared and served in Hayatabad area to daily wagers, men, women and children. More than 200 individuals including women and men have been fed. The activity is supported through donation by friends and family members of KK staff.
Cooked food served among daily wagers women and men at Hayatabad
2- Cash distribution.
Based on KK’s humanitarian work experience cash distribution in remote areas was found useful for many reasions including needy people can utilize it according to thier own prioritized pressing needs, it saves transportation and storage cost and most importantly handing over cash enhances trust and confidence of taking decsion how to spend the money. KK has distributed cash among 40 men and women in two villages of merged district of Bannu in Jani Khail and Machi Khail.
KK has developed reporting format for ensuring transparenecy in the distribtuion of cash showing who, where, and why the cash was distributed. Cash distribution process was done in the stated villages involving community activists both men and women who identified poorest of the poor prior to the actual distribution.
KK has distributed cash among vulnerable women at village Janikhail merged District Banuu.
3- Integration of C-19 in to Peace building project supported by NCA.
3.1 : Masks Distribution among community including women and minorities:
