Latest Update from the Field

2008 Snapshot of Earthquake Program

By Alison Hendry - Administrative Assistant, August 13, 2008 05:55 PM

In October 2005, a devastating earthquake erupted in Pakistan, killing over 80,000 people and impacting over 4 million more people. The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) staff in Pakistan began responding immediately to aid earthquake survivors by gathering blankets, cushions, and clothes in October 2005 and distributing a shipment of medicine from Direct Relief International in November 2005.

Many of the earthquake survivors have moved to Peshawar, Pakistan and continue to be helped by AIL in Learning Centers. From January to June 2008 there were 6 centers and schools serving a total of 406 survivors.
