June 25, 2009

Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), in collaboration with TetraPak and other dairy industry leaders, has started daily provision of milk to 9,000 children below the age of ten in two camps in Shah Mansoor, Swabi.

PPAF and TetraPak have joined hands in this noble cause with the aim to fulfill the nutrition requirements of the children at the tender age.

Support With Working Solutions (SWWS) – a PPAF partner organization – has completed the registration process of children at two IDPs camps (Shah Mansoor- I & II) and has been entrusted with the responsibility of distributing one quarter pack milk (1/4 liter) per day per child on daily basis.  

Besides distribution of milk among children, PPAF has provided trainings to as many as 400 camps’ residents in masonry, building electricians, carpentry and plumbing in four batches while 15 females have completed their training in tailoring.
