After the torrential rains that had one-third of the country in a state of emergency, many celebrities have stepped up to help the victims, and with relief and rehabilitation activities. One of them is singer-turned-actor Hadiqa Kiani, who prioritized her flood relief work in Balochistan in particular as it suffered huge damage to its infrastructure.
She had vowed to rebuild three villages — Rabbi, Chattar, and Tamboo in the province. The Raqeeb Se star has been working with contractors and doing all she can to help rebuild the homes of the flood affectees there.
My most recent trip to Balochistan allowed me to meet the brave people who have lost almost everything. I have now taken it as my responsibility to rebuild the villages of Rabbi, Chattar & now Tamboo. Inshallah we will rebuild stronger than before with the guidance of Allah SWT. pic.twitter.com/uYmbwGg8fL

Hadiqa Kiani tweeted yesterday that she has succeeded in securing $100,000 USD in aid, which is enough to rebuild 100 houses. She added that her team needs $85,000 more to provide the flood affectees with basic necessities.
Alhumdulilah we have crossed $100K USD which means we have officially secured 100 homes for flood victims who are STILL without homes, shelter or adequate supplies for the coming season. We have about $85K left to collect.
