For instance, the 2010 monsoon in Pakistan brought an unusual rainfall, which they hadn’t witnessed in 80 years. This rainfall claimed the lives of almost 2,000 persons, while twenty million others lost their properties and crops to flooding. The estimated value of this loss was averaged at $1 billion. This disaster tremendously affected the aspirations of the flood victims whose homes and businesses were destroyed.
At GHO, we are much aware of the psychological impact of natural and manmade disasters. This is why we are particular about providing disaster reliefs to affected communities. We also know that aspirations constitute a large part of an individual’s wellbeing. In the event of disasters, those with high aspirations might weather the storm, while those with low aspirations have a high tendency of falling into a poverty trap.
Timely provisions not only restore livelihoods and damaged businesses, but it can also go a long way to ease mental burdens and raise future aspirations, which will subsequently boost the economies of these communities in the long-run.
A cost-efficient analysis affirmed in the U.S. affirmed that making provisions for disaster reliefs can boost education, business investments as well as other pursuits on a large scale. At GHO, providing disaster reliefs is one of our primary missions. You are welcome to join in this active pursuit to save humanity.
