Background of the project:

Over the course of July and early August 2010, Pakistan experienced the heavy monsoon rains which resulted floods. Heavy rainfall, flash floods and reverie floods have devastated large parts of Pakistan since the beginning of seasonal monsoon rains on 22 July.

In (KP) Province, intense rains during the last week of July and in early August were joined by the swelling of major rivers due to rainwater surging down from the highland areas. The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported said that within one week in late July, KP received more than 200 millimeters of rainfall - ten times as much as the province normally receives in the course of an entire year. Baluchistan, Pakistan-Administered Kashmir; kohistan and Gilgit Baltistan, also experienced extreme weather, resulting in widespread losses and damages.

As stated above all the district were severely hit by floods. Kohistan is also one of the flood affected district. Kohistan as because of its unique geographical location faced the floods situation as different from other areas. Kohistan means the land of mountain this feature of kohistan faced a very worse condition during the floods. Inaccessibility to different areas is one of the main hurdles in the relief activities. So many of the NGOs and INGOs are hesitating to visit for relief activities in district kohistan. Due to far flung and spread areas kohistan remain backward both in normal and especially in emergency situation. Due to these reasons district kohistan remain very back ward as compare to other down district. In this catastrophe also district kohistan remain as one of the neglected district as in most of the flood hit districts first phase of emergency response is about to its completion. While district kohistan is still on the first phase of emergency response.

The Kohistan district was completely cut off from the whole country for three weeks. They got shortage of food which badly effected children, women and elders regarding their nutrition requirements.

Similarly health status of the people have become very worst due to unavailability of doctors and medicines especially women have no medical facility i.e gynae, antenatal, postnatal, and EMOC services for safe motherhood.

Salik Development Foundation has signed a Field level agreement (FLA) World Food Program (WFP) for support of Supplementary Feeding (SFP) component in the joint venture program of CMAM with UNICEF and WHO in 6 health facilities of 7 UC of District Kohistan.
