In August 2013, The World Federation completed the construction of 25 new homes in Khairpur Nathanshah, District Dadu, Sindh province in Pakistan. 25 families spanning 9 different villages in this city spent the last two years living in ragged tents, mud homes and broken huts. These families lost all of their homes and belongings in the 2010 floods which swept through Pakistan.

FAMILIES WHO BENEFITEED FROM RAMADHAN RELIEF 1434
Thanks to our donors who contributed to the Ramadhan Relief Fund last year, we were able to help so many men, women and children including:
Akber (Bangladesh) – who was born deaf and mute. His mother would work odd jobs to provide for her son because he could not find any work due to his disability. Last year, Akber’s mother passed away. Ramadhan Relief helped to pay for some of his living expenses.
Ibrahim (Gaza Strip) - is a Palestine refugee living in Gaza. He has been a fisherman for all his adult life.
The Israeli blockade on the coastal enclave in recent years has made it extremely difficult for him to support his family of 12. Ten years ago, there was a 12-mile limit on fishing; now it has been reduced to 6 miles. He said: “I am happy at sea and happy to be fishing. This is what I am good at - if only there was something to catch. It is very depressing when I go home empty handed.” The World Federation was able to provide food assistance to Ibrahim and his family last Ramadhan.
Zeba (Pakistan) - Zeba is a widow who has 3 daughters and one son. She is disabled. Her eldest daughter is 15 and looks after the household. Her 14 year old son works on a farm to help provide for the family. Last year, they received a food basket to help make the month of Ramadhan a little easier.
