Regional Institute of Policy Research and Training (RIPORT) a registered, non profit organization with its headquarters at 10-C, Railway Road, University Town, Peshawar, NWFP is also providing relief to the IDP camps. They will be going in with a scheme called, “Lightening the Darkness,” where we are hoping to provide electricity to IDPs. The summer is coming and the heat and mosquitoes will make the life of the IDPs more miserable. They are also examining the relatively easier project of providing medicine to camps. Their initial survey shows large gaps in medicine supply. Of course they will need funds. The effort now is based on volunteerism; we are building up fast.” If you would like to volunteer/donate funds to these relief efforts, Please Call: +92(91) 9211-8411
