Bank Alfalah spends Rs 308m for flood relief efforts in 2022   

Bank Alfalah spent a sum of PKR 308 million for flood-hit communities in 2022.  

In August 2022, Bank Alfalah’s Chairman, His Highness Sheikh Nahayan bin Mubarak Al Nahayan, and the Board of Directors had approved USD 10 million (PKR 2 Billion) to help with the extensive relief and rebuilding efforts.

In the first phase, the Bank partnered with reliable and trusted non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across Pakistan to rescue the flood-impacted people from hard-hit geographical locations. The second phase is dedicated to rehabilitating and rebuilding the communities.

In 2022, over PKR 300 million were disbursed for immediate relief and rescue. The Bank’s vast network of colleagues working in over 850 branches are volunteering to ensure transparency and provide assistance across the inundated areas.

By joining forces with its trusted partners, the Bank has provided 1.5 million meals, serving 280,000 households. As part of immediate rescue and relief, 94 medical camps were set up to provide urgent care to 27,500 patients with an epidemic of water-borne diseases, including dengue, malaria, cholera and typhoid. Furthermore, those in flood-hit locations were provided with 1,100 tents for immediate shelter.
