In Pakistan’s Balochistan province, Germany is supporting efforts to rebuild homes destroyed by the devastating 2022 floods, while helping communities prepare for future climate risks.
In Hanna-Urak, near Quetta, climate-resilient houses are being built for families who lost their homes in the floods. The project is supported by Germany through KfW Development Bank, in partnership with UNDP and the Balochistan government.
The housing programme aims to construct around 700 homes designed to better withstand floods, earthquakes and extreme temperatures. The houses include raised foundations, stronger structural features and improved ventilation.
The initiative is part of a wider recovery effort focused not only on replacing damaged homes, but also on reducing the risks communities face from future disasters.
Alongside housing, the programme is supporting community infrastructure and stronger local institutions, helping improve long-term disaster preparedness.
For families affected by the 2022 floods, the new homes provide safer shelter and an opportunity to rebuild their lives with greater security.
The project reflects a broader focus on climate-resilient recovery, bringing together Pakistan, Germany and development partners to strengthen communities facing growing climate challenges.
