Shelter Repair Kit for South Waziristan returnee IDPs
1st May 2011 To 31st July 2011

The worsened security situation in South Waziristan Agency and the military operation against militants in the area caused hundreds of thousands of families from South Waziristan Agency to flee to stable districts and cities of the country. The long term conflict situation in the area and lack of proper maintenance in a scenario, where the country experienced worst rains and floods in 2010, caused heavy damages to the residential facilities in South Waziristan Agency. In May 2011 government of Pakistan declared some of the areas safe for return. The IDPs returning to their places of origin found damaged or destroyed houses, which they could not rehabilitate with their meager resources. FRD with support of UNHCR provided the support in form of shelter roofing material, One door one window and US$ 100 as cash for work to the vulnerable families who did not had resources to reconstruct their own houses. A total of 600 families were assisted with this package. Now the returnees IDPs and their children and women have a place which they can call their home.
