Disaster Management Program
When the ground shakes, we rise to help.
Natural disasters like earthquakes occur without any signals, but the devastation and negative effects they leave take years to heal. In moments when people lose their residence, loose their loved ones, and entire communities are perished, Haqat ul Foundation steps in with immediate relief and long-term recovery. Our Disaster Management Program is designed to respond rapidly, relieve suffering, and rebuild lives with dignity and compassion.

Importance of Earthquake Relief
Earthquakes can destroy:
- Homes and residing places of many

The most affected are often the less fortunate ones, old people, women, and children, who face a crucial time to recover without urgent and prepared help.
