SI has been present in Pakistan with prior interventions starting in 2005 and a scaleup of operations that was launched in the response to the 2010 floods in the Sindh province.The objective was to support the flood affected population during the calamity through an improved access to WASH facilities and later on was expanded to provide longerterm improved access to WASH facilities in the province coupled with a disaster risk reduction set of activities.After closing its mission due to lack of funding opportunities, SI has recently sent a member of the emergency desk to evaluate the impact of the 2022 floods and the potential added value for SI to relaunch activities in the country. Following this, SI is now launching a first phase of operations in Sindh in collaboration with and in addition to the actions carried out by the authorities and NGOs on the ground, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL teams are preparing to deploy a rapid multisectoral response tailored as closely as possible to the needs of the targeted populations, which could include:Providing access to safe drinking water;Providing emergency latrines to limit open defecation and reduce related health risks;Distributing essential emergency goods to households whose homes have been destroyed, which could include tents, blankets, hygiene kits or basic household items.
