Arrangement for providing thirteen million more meals has been made and logistics are in process. TCF aims to provide 20 million meals within the month of Ramadan. With the aid of continued donations TCF chief executive officer Asaad Ayub hopes to surpass this target.
Leveraging its already established network of schools in the flood-affected areas, TCF is carrying out its relief operation at zero mobilisation costs. Hence, it is utilising 100% of the relief donations for purchase and transport of food items.
Like the earthquake programme, TCF Flood Relief will be accounted for separately. Education at the organisation's schools continues and no funds from TCF Education Programme will be diverted towards this relief effort.
TCF is a professionally managed non-profit organisation and has a network of 660 school units in 68 towns and cities across Pakistan, where 92,000 students are enrolled.
