Last year Pakistan was devastated by massive flooding in August 2022. Columbans helped some of those worst affected in the following ways:

Distributed a total of 1,743 food rations including mosquito nets, medical and sanitary kits.
The TB Clinic in Badin admitted 176 TB patients to nearby hospitals and 1,253 outpatients were treated.
Medical outreach teams visited over 70 villages which have no direct access to doctors, and 8,754 patients were given free check-ups and medicines (mostly women and children).
A housing project is in progress and aims to build 100 mud brick houses for families whose homes were destroyed or badly damaged by the flooding.
