The flash floods caused by the heavy rains that hit Pakistan over July and August 2010 are estimated to have affected over 20 million people1. This disaster destroyed or partially damaged nearly 1.9 million housing units nationwide2 with the mass displacement of people into relief camps, unsafe buildings, makeshift shelters and along the roadside. 27 out of NRSP’s 59 districts were affected. The worst affected districts were: Charsadda in KPK, Rajanpur and DG Khan in Southern Punjab, and the coastal district of Thatta in southern Sindh. The National Rural Support program responded by developing a low-cost housing model comprising one room, a latrine and an optional veranda/ kitchen. This was to be implemented through the community-driven approach. The cost-share required for each housing unit is 30:70, with Rs. 100,000 to be contributed towards each unit by donors and Rs. 45,000 by participants in the form of cash, materials and labour. Five donors came forward funding the construction of 653 houses using NRSP’s housing model and approach. These are the Behbud Association, Islamic Charity UK and Rotary International, the Express News Helpline Trust, and the ICMC.
