We’re Heading Back to Pakistan, Join Us on the Ground!
First, we fly out as a team to Multan where we spend the first three days packing food parcels, which can take between six to eight hours a day. Each parcel contains a substantial amount of nutritious food, weighing approximately 30 kg and comprising essentials like rice, oil, and pasta.
After the third day, we begin distributing the food parcels and we also get the opportunity to work with our medical experts to assist them at our eye health camps. Altogether, we will distribute around 3,000 food parcels and carry out around 1,500 eye tests during your stay.
Our Pakistan deployment enables you to see, first-hand, the real, tangible difference that humanitarian aid delivery can make, while our experienced teams on the ground will provide you with all the support and guidance you need, every step of the way.

Everybody over the age of 18 can take part in the deployment. The experience can be quite challenging and full on. There is a role for everyone on deployment. The deployment is open to both males and females alike. Please note that the deployment can be emotionally and physically straining so please ensure you’re in a good shape to load and unload the food parcel.
It is advised to take comfortable clothing with you, especially comfortable, solid shoes. You will each be given five red SKT Welfare t-shirts which you must wear at all times when you leave the hotel. During the colder seasons, you will also be given a fleece jacket.
Yes, we are in constant communication with the team in Turkey and they send regular updates on the situation there. To date, we have taken fifteen teams with well over two hundred volunteers and thankfully never had an incident. Your safety is our main priority, if for any reason there are safety concerns, we will notify you straight away and will cancel the deployment until things settle down.
Each volunteer has a target of £2.000, but this does not mean that you have to stop once you hit the target; aim high and achieve more! Don’t worry if you are finding it difficult to raise the money as we have tips in place just to help you. Just give us a shout!
Yes, you are welcome to take sweets for the children. It is better to take small lollies as you can take a greater amount in quantity and ensure every child receives at least one sweet!
