As a JPF grant project, JPF member NGO JEN has distributed cold-proof items and implemented a psychosocial support project for the people in the Mirpur District in Kashmir, Pakistan, who were affected by the earthquake.
At this time, monitoring was conducted on JEN’s projects. Thanks to their projects, 640 households, who had lost housing and were trying to get by in the cold, received cold-proof tents and other winterization assistance items. Additionally, psychosocial support sessions were held to help people who had suffered psychologically from the earthquake. Participants had lost their homes and were also mentally strained as they felt anxious about rebuilding their lives, and they learned from a psychological expert how they can alleviate the suffering they have been feeling.
While some things were carried out as planned, COVID-19 has prevented this psychosocial support project from continuing to be held as a group work session with participants physically gathered together in one place. So, JEN used FM radio, local TV, and social media to conduct some of these sessions remotely.

As a JPF grant project, JPF member NGO JEN has been continuing its provision of winter supplies and psychosocial support for the people affected by the earthquake in the Mirpur District of Kashmir in Pakistan.
A large earthquake hit this region of Pakistan in September. JEN has distributed cold-proof tents and other relief items for people who were affected by this earthquake and were forced to live outdoors and in tents. JEN has also been implementing a psychosocial support project to provide mental care for those who have been affected by this disaster and were anxious about having to build their lives back up again. As coronavirus (COVID-19) began to spread in the country, JEN has been very careful in preventing infections as they proceed with their project, including engaging in some of their work remotely.
