The blast caused immense destruction throughout the city and displaced many families who weren’t able to remain in their homes until the damage was assessed and repaired. Much of the damage was centered around windows being blown out, window frames damaged, and walls cracked or destroyed by the intensity of the blast. In addition to structural damage, many of the home appliances were damaged or destroyed due to the blast and flying debris. Our partners in Pakistan are committed to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable families by cleaning up the debris from the initial blast, replacing windows and frames, repairing and painting walls, and replacing appliances.

In addition to the destruction of homes, many businesses were affected not able to reopen until repairs were completed. Our partners would like to give financial gifts to struggling businesses in the affected areas to help them survive this time of forced closures.
