Covid19 Crisis in Mansehra KPK - A Story of Daily Wagers from construction industry

Oghi, Mansehra, Khyper Pakhtunkhawa Lock Down


BBACF team was informed about a village by Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. Name of the village is Oghi. Similar to the other towns visited and supported by the team of BBACF, Oghi was not much different. 

A Scenic village almost reaching the point to starve turned out to be hard call. It was at distance and weather was not much supportive. Heavy rain & thunderstorm with no light in village made the process of food packages way more complicated than anticipated. 

Most of the daily wagers work in other parts of the country in construction industry. Covid19 lock down is no more an unfamiliar story for anyone around the globe. Residents of the remote village had returned to their home town couple of months back. No work with almost no savings brought the village to the point to seek help desperately. 

BBACF team was fortunate enough to leave sufficient food supplies for the village to manage for a month time. As we all stand in it together, we all pray that world walks out of this crisis soon. Till then the journey continues with the support of generous community supporting BBACF & many other organizations around the globe.  

Location: Oghi, Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
