PAKISTAN.

In 2010, Pakistan faced a devastating state of emergency after a flood left approximately one fifth of the country under water and hunger became an even more urgent problem. We collaborated with local organizations in Wisconsin, facilitating the movement of three containers of meals to Karachi for distribution throughout the affected areas. Local volunteers completed meal packing events in Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago. In one night alone, they packed 60,000 meals (totaling 120,000 pounds of food) to give nourishment to thousands of hungry children. 

JABOR got involved when a member of the Madison Relief Fund contacted Charlie. Worldwide Hunger Relief and the Madison Relief Fund had the resources to access food staples and gather volunteers to pack the meals, but needed an experienced organization who could successfully transport the meals from the Midwestern US to Pakistan. 

​Worldwide Hunger Relief is a group of local citizens who focus on alleviating child hunger. Madison Relief Fund began as part of the Meals For Haiti initiative in 2010. While the group no longer operates, it focused at the time on promoting the wellbeing of people and their communities through charitable donations, fundraising, and volunteer assistance.
