[Imran Khan Foundation Updates]

On the instruction of Imran Khan, IKF Flood Relief Assistance teams are currently in the process of assessing the 'need of Wheat Seed' for small land-holding farmers in six worst hit districts of Punjab (Hafizabad, Sialkot, Chiniot, Jhang, Multan & Muzafargarh). This 'need assessment' process carries huge significance since it will allow our teams to identify the actual deserving farmers who have lost their crops to the floods and are at severe risk of descending into vicious cyclical and generational poverty. Once the 'need assessment' process is completed, our field teams assisted by the office staff, would carry out the process of distribution of 'wheat seed' to deserving farmers. The process of distribution would start within a couple of weeks as soon as the sowing period of the wheat crop begins.
