The Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF) on Wednesday signed the historic’ Vulnerability to Resilience Agreement’ under which preparations will be made at the community level to deal with any future natural disasters, in addition to launching social welfare projects in various districts of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

Secretary General Khalid Bin Majeed and Khurram Khaliq signed the agreement on behalf of PRCS and the NDRMF respectively here at the NDRMF Secretariat.

Under the agreement, not only job opportunities will be created in the target areas but also different human welfare projects like construction of paved paths, storage and provision of water, construction of check dams, tree plantation campaigns, upkeep of basic healthcare units and primary schools and conservation of landwill be completed.

It is worth mentioning here that since taking over as secretary general, Khalid Bin Majeed has made special efforts to materialise this historic project.

Speaking on the occasion, Majeed said the people of AJK still lack facilities even in this day and age. He said the PRCS will bring about a real change in the life of the people of the backward areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
