16.08.2010 10:32 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Nestlé Pakistan is distributing milk, water, juice and Maggi noodles to farmers and their families in the Northern Punjab region. In the most affected milk districts the Company operates in, it is also arranging vaccines for cattle and helping communities linked to their milk collection sites and distributors.
In addition, Nestlé Pakistan is also providing support to the government for relief assistance.
Nestlé Pakistan has previously built schools and water stations in the area and is checking if these have been affected, with a view to repairing them.
The Company operations in Pakistan are functioning despite severe infrastructure challenges across the country.
As the worst floods in 80 years, killing more than 1,600 people and affecting a further 4 million including 2.5 million left homeless; with the monsoon season not yet over, further devastation is expected.
